Bloody clowns

Post by millsn » Sun Nov 15, 2009 1:30 pm

I introduced 3 new clowns to my tank about 3 days ago and they've all been happy bar one (the biggest) who has been a recluse. Cucumber, frozen food, garlic added to no avail. She's been hiding in their favorite hideout (a tube'ish tunnel) the whole time, not even coming out for food. I've been gettign concerned. When I've chased her out she's looked fine though.
Todfay I'd had enough and removed the tube. Out she comes and parades round the tank like it's all new to her (which to all intents, it is) and she's now playing with all the others. I know they're know for their behaviour but being more active when hiding places are removed? Bizarre!

Strange indeed. Most of the times it occurs in the opposite way.
