so I don't have to worry about her injuring her mouth then? Cuz she never pick on other fish in the tank ( they were all introduced together). I don't mind she trying to fight herself =P Just that I don't want the mouth to become a serious injury and become the cause of death =.="


I've got 1 firefish goby and 1 sleeper goby (maybe lined, hasn't yet been identified =p ) and 1 false perc. clown was only introduced about 4 months after sixlines was already in there, but nothing happened. The sixline has only showed aggression towards the peppermint shrimps when they were introduced to the tank, but only for a 10 seconds maybe, and she left them alone.

It sucks that it's an idiot and attacking th glass to the point that it's hurting itslef. Dunno what you can do to dissuade the activity besides not having glass

If it's of any consolation, mine is an idiot like that too. Timid as hell (even the jawfish scare it off) but she always puffs up at her reflection in the glass (then runs away from it since she's a big wuss).
