Clown fed chromis to BTA:(

[zenn]

When you think things have stabliziled and you're finally getting a hang of things, your clownfish kills a chromis and feeds it to the BTA

Seriously, this hobby sends me for a loup all the time. I know it's just nature and BTA's have to eat too...but it's shocking to come home and realize your bta is eating one of your fish. Can I expect her to do the same iwth the other two chromis? They've lived together for well over a month....with the only sign of hostility being the female clown nipping at the chromis when they get too close to the BTA.

RIP Green Chromis

Sorry for you loss..........Are cinnamon clown fed ours a cleaner shrimp. Maybe the chromis was not doing so swift.......

I agree, the chromis probably died from other causes.

it's wierd, because although i didn't see it happening, i could tell the BTA was eating something.
And it happened just minutes after i was spent a little time watching the tank.

I think the other chromis will end up the way of the first one.
