Yellow Dottyback Taming

wesamazmy · 08/31/2015, 01:32 AM

My interest from the beginning is to keep aggressive fishes in my tank but not a predator!

I have get a Yellow Dottyback fish yesterday to my tank, and from the first 30 min from introducing it in my tank, he shows very clear aggressiveness, and attack the cleaner shrimp and crabs, 'but thanks for the three stripe damsel that defend him'.

I dont want to loas any of my shrimps or damsels to be eaten by this 'wolf'
Now I was wondring if I can taming him to live without eating the tank mates?

so if any one knows how to deal with this 'Wolf'? shall I try somthing before kicking him out! or I have to return it back?

please help and thanks for that

my tank contains now:
1 camel shrimp
1 cleaner shrimp
4 hermit crabs
5 different damselfish
2 corals
1 anemone

this is the image of the 'wolf'

Training a dottyback not to eat it's natural dinner isn't going to work. It would be like training me not to eat bacon with my eggs for breakfast

get a rolled up newspaper and slap it on the nose and say bad boy. don't blame the fish. it's just acting the way it normally does.
