clown behavior

Hello again all, just trying to figure out what’s going on with my female clown fish. My pair has been in this tank for about 5 months now and they’ve never hosted anything. The male and female seemed to be a pair because they always stuck around each other throughout the day and into the...

So I recently posted to figure out what one of my clowns is the female clown and the one that seemed like the female is definitely the male because he just started getting chased around and nipped at by the female why did this just happen so suddenly also now he is at the surface of the water...

I am about 2 weeks-3weeks in having fish in the tank. got two clownfish the female is a frostbite bullethole and the male is a davinci. When i got the davinci he was missing a fin on his belly and had a red cut on the left side of his lower lip. over the past two weeks all that had healed up by...

Hello, Got a new Anemone today and place it directly on the spot where my Clowns have been sleeping for ~2 years. Hoping they will decided to relax and enjoy in the Anemone. Should I be worried about this behavior?

Hello all, Yesterday I got this beatiful pair of clown fish, and I put them in my fresh (cycled) tank. Note that they were swimming perfectly fine in the aquarium shop and plastic bag on the way home and during the acclamation process. But, after I put them in the tank and checked up on them...

Hi all, I’ve had any clown for about 6 months, and just 2 days ago she switched her hangout spot from the upper corner near the power head to under a rock arch. Is this normal behavior or am I just being paranoid? She still eats well and sometimes explores the tank. #reefsquad

Hi .... I've added (2) young clownfish into my tank. Everything was well for the 1st couple of days and then I noticed tears in one of the clown's tail fins and fading to white spots on the tail fin. Each day it looks like the white spots are getting more prominent and chucks of the tail are...

https://youtube.com/shorts/FrzrSiFdixo?feature=share Howdy! The tank is nano 15gallon fluval. All cycled. When I first got them, I did not know what species they were. As I have researched I found that more orange in the eyes is a perc and more black is an occy. I am pretty sure the larger...

They have been together in this tank for over 6 months. a few days ago I started to notice some fights, but today it's super intense. Is this fight level still considered normal or do I need to remove one of them? https://photos.app.goo.gl/w7mDfYihfxTKWj3p9 Thanks

All day they have been doing this

Almost had my Puffer for a year In a couple of months. Last few days he has been acting odd. He has been staying low to the sand bed. My clown fish has been swimming above him sometIke’s touching him which I find very odd as well. Please see a picture attached. He only eats by hand and today he...

I have a biocube 32 led. It’s been running for a year but I transfered everything from a previous tank I had running for 3 years. I have so many pods the ground comes alive after lights out. Can I support a mandarin in a tank this small? I know I will likely have to supplement pods and would...

It’s not really a “problem” persay, but I have 1 percula, one Black ice, one cinnamon, and one black ocellaris. The cinnamon clown is v aggressive and bites me like a lil jerk lol. and it has decided to host all 3 of my nems without letting the others have any… is this normal? And How can I let...

Hi guys! About 8 weeks into my first build and things are looming good. So far I have two phantom clowns, 2 damsels, a udder chaos, hammerhead and 3 other small frags (plus some hermits and snails). Everythings great, the clowns are new, and they have separated recently and one of them hangs at...

Hej, It’s been a couple of days since i noticed one of my clowns resting on the bottom glass in the late afternoon, when its not noticed. That corner is where they sleep at night. The flow in my tank is quite strong, but so far looks like the clowns liked it, though sometimes they move to low...

I came home from a long work day, after about a month, this fish and anemone are finally hosting in this acclimation box, I’m elated! But now what do I do? Haha I have 7 anemones in my tank total, this acid wash is the first to host. If I take it out of the box and release the fish will it...

I have a 35gallon tank with two small clownfish, one black and one orange, my orange clown is staying on the surface of my tank and swimming in its side, he will alternate the side facing however he just stays in a few spaces at the top of my tank always on his side? I think this is a...

Hi, I'm still new to this hobby and this pair of clowns are my first ever marine fish. I would just want to ask if there are any tips regarding keeping them? I have read online and learned alot about them so its not like I know 0 info. Just any tips or help you think is helpful would be...

Hi everyone! I’ve read that some Clowns love to swim vertical, so I’m just checking if you guys may think this is the case. His slime coat is looking a little odd, but otherwise is doing everything else just fine. He’s in my DT now after doing his copper treatment beforehand and he took it like...

Hello! I am new to the saltwater community and after cycling my tank for about 2 months, testing salinity, and water testing I finally felt I was ready to purchase fish! I got 2 little clown fish and they seem to be doing good. It’s only my 2nd day having them and they haven’t eaten yet, but...

Well, where do I begin? I'm a student of Architecture in my beautiful 3rd world country Namibia. A geological location that feels pretty much like the butt side of the world in terms of what is available on the other side of the world. Nonetheless we fellow like minded reefers all have what...

I got two snowflake clowns tpday. They’re the only fish in the tank. It’s a biocube 32 led. They’re staying out in the water column right now. They look like they’re riding the flow around. Is that normal? Will they find a low flow area of my tank to inhabit or are they just being weirdos? Photo...

Hi all. I am having some trouble with my lightning maroons clowns, which seems to be a common tale! This is my first saltwater aquarium. We set it up over the course of this month and it finished cycling last weekend, so on Sunday we put in the two clowns. Things seemed fine at first - there...

I’ve been reefing for like 8 years and I’ve never had clownfish. I just setup a smaller tank to move my last remaining damsel out of my 32 gallon. I plan to restock it with a pair of clowns, an orchid dottyback, a corris wrasse, and some pajama cardinals. Is there a species of clown I should get...

I’m looking at getting a pair of clownfish for my 32 gallon. Is there a species I can get that won’t be belligerent toward other tank mates? I plan on adding some pajama cardinals, an orchid dottyback, and possibly some type of corris wrasse to the tank. Should I go with a solo clownfish? I had...
