clown fish diagnosis

This 15 gallon nano is 2 months old. I only had a pair of clowns for a little over a month and then I put in my Duncan and pipe organ because they looked unhappy in my other tank. The coral actually started improving surprisingly to me and all was seemingly well until last night. Last night, the...

So currently in my tank i have 2 Clowns, Orange Shoulder Tang, Blue Tang, Flame Angel and an Epaulette Shark These are the water parameters and yes I know Alk was low but has been increased. So basically out of all the fish I have currently the 2 clowns have white spot the larger one being...

So two days ago I found my female clown on the floor and my male in the rear filtration chamber on my tank. It was obviously too late for my female but I put my male back in the display tank and even though he was clearly looking for her all day which breaks my heart he was physically fine. That...

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...

1st photo and video is of our male clown. His color is drastically lighter than usual. His breathing and mouth movement is extremely fast. The 2nd photo and video is our female clown. Her color hasn’t lightened but she’s having the same breathing and mouth movement issue. This started within 4-5...

My female clownfish has raised red mark on her side. It's a raised red area that's pushing up under her scales. Wasn't there yesterday, it's sudden and looks pretty bad. Anyone know what it could be or have advice for treatments? I have methylene blue, API General Cure and Seachem Focus

Hello all One of my new clownfish (arrived last Friday) have developed this night a kind of white patch discoloration on his skin, he swim normally and he eat just before this video(and have feed his anemone too). He seem to breath a little faster than the other one. And the other one is...

Hey all! I posted this on Humblefish, but there were not really any suggestions or ideas so I’m hoping to get some opinions here! I have a pair of captive bred clowns that went through QT (arrive, H202 dip then MB dip), straight into 2.5 copper for 15 days (doing GC, Kana and Metro at...

Hi, I am in the process of building a 60g cube, and figured I’d take advantage of Petco sales and get a 20g for an observation tank, and to get my first fish. I was lucky enough to find 2 black storms at Petco for less than $40/fish (bad to buy from Petco, I know, but couldn’t pass up on $200...

My clown fish has been acting weird. Constantly laying on their side, but will swim when I walk up to the tank. Their color looks great, I don’t see any signs of an illness. I’ve had this clown for 7-8 years now. However. There does appear to be a slight purplish mark on their one side, but...

I recently introduced a new clownfish to my tank. My old clown is a little bigger (but not by much) so I am assuming it is a female. It’s been in my tank alone for about 3 weeks after killing my 6-line wrasse. I gave her a new clown today (same kind of clown) and now she is pecking at it. Is...

He is new and my only survivor of a shipment of 5. Came with a couple of white spots on him now there's more. There's no extra slime on him, just dots.

This morning when I checked my tank, there were no dots on this clown, but when I was checking this afternoon he was absolutely covered in them. I’ve moved him into a qt. Wondering if it’s ick or brook? I’m fairly new this tank is a year old and the clown I’ve had for maybe 8-9 months. I really...

I’ve had this pair of clownfish for about a year, when I woke up this morning I noticed they weren’t together. The smaller of the two I found in the middle of the tank almost on the sand and hugging and rock. Almost never leaves the top corner except to eat. He also in normally a dark orange...

I've had my clowns for about three weeks now, my bigger clown (the spaz one) has been swimming like this quite often, especially when the blues come on. She likes to glass surf a lot during the day and swim into the power head, she mainly only doesn't spaz out during feeding, she will start...

Hi group, After much research and reading I’m 99% convinced my Picasso Clown has Swim Bladder Disease. He was in a tank with parameters of no3 10 po4 0.07 Salinity 1.024 Temp 76.0 F With another Picasso, 6th line Wrasse, YWG, and a CB Shrimp. All others are doing well. however, my clown...

Hey guys. Wondering if this is possibly Brook or some scale damage. To me, it just looks like the scales are lifted a bit BUT lfs said clownish dont have scales. I went to another lfs right after (first one didn’t have what I came there for) and figured I would ask there. They told me that...

My clownfish was looking alright all day and after feeding this evening i got back to my tank a noticed this weird spot behind its fin.. In the picture it looks dark but in reality it kinda looks transparent/disscolored. Im a bit worried and wondering if this could be organ damage/leak but i...

I am very new to having a salt water tank and I already am obsessed but there is still a lot to learn. When I first got my two clownfish I noticed this red dot near his gill. I figured it was normal and would heal itself (what do I know right?). I keep an eye on it but to me it looks redder than...

Here’s my first post, which I posted in the wrong forum section Thread 'QUICK HELP!!! MARINE VELVET OR NO?' https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/quick-help-marine-velvet-or-no.1007442/ Could this be Black Ich Turbellarian Infection instead of Hook worms??? And will Prazi or another medication...

I've had this clownfish for about 6-7 years now. When I got it it was pretty orange, over the years it had turned mostly black. It seemed to have a grown spirt lately because it was always much smaller than the other. Does this look like a case of brooklynella? It swims and eats just fine...

Hi all, Not sure what’s going on with my clown fish he’s been acting strange lately breathing heavy laying in the sand and hanging out by the filter but eatting normal. Recently noticed some spots on his face and gills. The tanks been going now for two months and my water levels have been...

I have a new 55gal tank. After cycle was complete, I added two clownfish and 10 hermit crabs. This was 6 days ago. My clownfish’s fins look weird. The look like they have clear growths stuck to the distal ends. From reading other threads I thought it might be lymphosis since there are no other...

I have a new 55gal tank. After cycle was complete, I added two clownfish and 10 hermit crabs. This was 6 days ago. My clownfish’s fins look weird. From reading other threads I thought it might be lymphosis since there are no other spots on the fish (not on the fins). Any help to what could be...
