My Barlett's Anthias has been terrorizing a pair of juvenile occelaris clowns for the last three days. I had to take apart the whole darn aquarium to catch her and she is now in a breeders net. There are two options. One is keep her there for a couple of days. Doing so would induce stress and she could become sick. The second thing I can do is take her back to LFS for store credit. She's a pretty fish and very active. If she weren't aggressive I would obviously prefer to keep her.
So far I am leaning towards taking her back. I have been told that keeping a single anthias was doable but it appears that she would do better in a school. My tank is too small for a school of anthias. Please advise.
