clown behavior

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...

I’ve been running a nanocube or biocube for 7 years now. In that time I’ve had an engineer goby (who just passed at age 10 and nearly 2ft long) and a four stripe damsel the whole time. A Madagascar clownfish, green corris wrasse, and coral beauty angel have all passed through. I had to get rid...

Bought quite a bit of new coral and was focused on making everything look just right, and had to rearrange some rockwork because of it. My female clown was not a fan of that. She does this weird tail slapping thing, where she swims up right by me and spins really quick, creating quite a bit of...

I just recently got a 4th ocellaris clown, who is the female of my take, and she was doing quite well for a while. It’s been about 3 weeks since her acclimation, and she’s begun to bully my smallest male. She hasn’t head bunt/ nipped at him, although she does swim toward him aggressively and...

These fish are very fresh, 3 days in the tank after the tank was cycled for about a month. Before getting the fish in I got readings of slightly high Nitrate but I took care of it. Currently, the fish are not together and one is "sleeping" in a small cafe on the back of my rock. Is this normal...

Hello, I recently set up a new tank and added two blackice clownfish. They were friendly with each other at first and now recently the one primarily white clownfish keeps attacking the other. They both twitch at each other here and there but the aggression hasn’t stopped. No damage has occurred...

I just got a brand new torch coral for my clowns to host. Today one of my clowns went and bit of of the tentacles of the torch and immediately started acting strange. He wont stop vigorously swimming in one particular corner of the tank. It's like he is attacking his reflection. What would be...

Hi all, so I picked up my clownfish two days ago and they were sold as a pair. However today I noticed that they were totally going at it and the smaller one has some tears on his (pectoral?) fins from bites- which only showed up within the past day :( 1. What should I do? Do I intervene or...
