Percula clowns

Just curious..do any fellow aquarist here have their percula clowns behaving weirdly?

My pair keeps my Jann's pipefish from swimming out in the open when its not feeding time...cause they are always attracted to the flag-like tail of the pipefish as if it was a food item...

Not really aggressive towards it..but keeping it hidden from me..only time I see it come out is when the clowns are distracted by food... <_<

Always something more important than fish.

Pipefish are very shy fishes and are not compatible with lots of fishes including wrasses, bennies, clownfishes, etc.... and are better off in a species tank. If your clownfish keep chasing them... (Pipefish are not good swimmer so it may appear that they are not very bother by the clown but in fact they are extremely stress) soon you will have a dead fish in your tank.

This compatibility guide may help you to choose the tank mate for your pipefish.....!

Cheer
