Bullied Chromis

[thegrins]

Hi - I have a small school of 3 blue-green chromis which are the only inhabitants (along with the CUC) in my 60 gal FOWLR tank. The 3 fish were doing fine together for 2 weeks when I began to notice that one of them had a scrape on it's nose. Two days ago, I noticed one of the others was chasing it during feeding and then last night the injured one was hiding behind some rocks and refusing to feed with the other two. Obviously the injured one is being bullied. Would it be best to remove the injured one to a quarentine tank or the one who is doing the most bullying in hopes to minimize future disputes if later reintroduced to the tank.

Thanks in advance.

Whichever you choose, keep in mind that these fish will not school in small tanks. They will chase each other to the point of death.

Eventually - and sadly enough - you will have one fish left.
