clown fish

Honestly when I started my hobby with saltwater fish I just guessed the whole way through it. My tank was only 13 gallons, and it was a whole entire ecosystem. I had to only do water changes once a month and it was thriving. Now, I'm basically starting over, i kind of messed up in a sense. I...

Any recommendations for ordering designer clowns in America?

Hello, I was finally able to record my dominate clownfish shaking against the sand bed. I’ve had her for two months and the only other fish is an other clown I had for 3 weeks. I’m pretty sure she started this behavior 5 days ago because I was able to notice the sand bed looking different. She...

Hey, new to the hobby here, tanks about 3 months old, I have a pair of clowns, the female has been pretty aggressive with the male, nipping his fins and such so I separated him in a little isolation box so he could relax for a few days, as I do not have a separate tank, but now the spots I...

Please help, I have recently (3 months ago) set up a marine aquarium and the first few fish I added were 2 clowns. I’ve been fresh water for many years and never had any disease issues. My clown is showing ALOT of white spots but is still eating and swimming as normal. Tank water has high...

Impulsively went to my LFS and immediately knew I needed to start my very own reef tank. I’ve had a betta before, but that was nothing compared to this. Currently I’m a month and a half in with no issues once so ever. I wanted to do something with puffer fish, eels, and sea horses but some...

Hi all, I have just today lost my female clown fish to presumed white spot. We have been treating the pair for 10 days now with reef safe medic however I don’t think it was in time sadly. She had it quite badly all over and now the male has it bad where he didn’t before. All of this stemmed...

Hello, About a week ago we had an outbreak of marine velvet in our QT tank - we believe it came from adding snails to our tank. We quickly lost a mustard tang and a BS Jawfish. Within hours we set up our hospital tank and started treated with copper and metro. We have 2 clowns, 1 angel, 3 PJ...

Hello! Finally got most of my gear so I can start cycling the tank, and was eager to get feedback on my scape. So, this will be a classic clown tank for my 4 year old to enjoy, we're going to eventually add either a firefish or a goby-pistol pair, whatever she prefers. We're also gonna go wild...

Hi everyone! I'm planning to add a pair of longfin clownfish to my tank, but my local fish store doesn't have many options. Do you have any recommended websites where I can find them? Thanks!

Hi, Clown fish in third day of hiding. I've had a valentini puffer in my 30 gallon tank for about two weeks. I ran out of food for two days and my mandarin goby went missing. The first day I had the puffer, it devoured my emerald crabs. Now my typically belligerent clown fish (had for about a...

Hello, I recently received a pair of clownfish as a birthday gift, and I am not sure how to properly care for them. They have been active and eating well for the past four weeks, but today I noticed that one of them is bent on the sand. I do not have the proper testing tools. Can you please...

My clownfish has been swimming vertical (head up) for only today. Last time I had a pair of clowns, one of them died this way. Is there anything I can do? (I checked pH and Ammonia and both of those are fine)

Hey all, I woke up this morning to a sad day. Both my transparent goby and my clown, along with my camel shrimp & sea hare were all dead. That being said, all of my crabs (hermit & emerald) along with my turbo snails, my tubiflex worm & conch snail are all alive & seem to be doing fine...

Good afternoon fellow Reefers!! I know I’m not technically new, however I consider myself a beginner in many aspects of the hobby so I would love some dumbed down, easy to follow advice. My situation: I currently have a 10g tank with just 2 clownfish (4+ yo healthy tank). I’m moving from a...

Finally the anemone is hosting the clown fish. Took a long time. This happened after we added 6 new damsel fish to the tank to help raise phosphate. My tank is too clean. I gave up a long time ago and went to look at the tank and I was shocked at what I saw. Attached a video. I am so...

I bought a midnight clownfish from ORA about a week ago, however the fish came with this white-ish blotch on its chin area. It’s not orange like a black clownfish that hasn’t finished turning black, definitely pale in color and irregular in shape. Never seen this before and couldn’t find any...

Hello everyone! I was looking for stocking ideas for a 20g Aqueon standard. It has not been started yet. I’m just looking for ideas. Igreen’s guide says 3-5 fish for a 20, so of course I want to do 5 haha Current idea: - Clownfish pair (mocha storm and orange storm preferably but $$$) - Orchid...

I’m a bit confused on clownfish sex changes work… I know if you just have a pair the dominant one is female and the other is male, but what about a colony? I was under the impression that any number of clowns had one female, one male, and the rest ungendered, but I am now told that “there will...

Hello Everyone! I am an absolutely beginner with zero hands-on experience in saltwater. I have been researching the saltwater hobby for a little over a year now and I just have a couple of questions. I would like to start a 5.5 gallon nano (pico?) tank (just the basic one from petsmart). I have...

Hey there, I have a 90 Gallon with 2 clowns who aren’t paired, Mandarin, fire goby and blue damsel. My clown who was the bigger one, is now slightly smaller. But the last couple of days has gotten a really fat or swollen belly. She is still eating lots, but sticking closer to her anemone...

Hi, Just got these clowns today. I’m new to having fish, especially marine. They are just swimming around the top. What could this mean? I cycled the tank and the store checked my levels all are okay for the fish. They’ve been in the tank for a few hours now I tried to sprinkle some pallets...

I work at a lfs and today a customer wanted to buy the lone mai tai clown we had and put it with the mai tai he had in his tank already. He said he also had other kinds of clowns in the tank and they got along well. The question is that since our mai tai was alone, it would’ve been female...
