clown fish

Hi, About three months ago I bought a new small clownfish online for my single female clownfish (her partner died more than a year ago). When it arrived it looked a bit dull due to a light slimy coat. I was a bit worried but it seemed to diminish over time and the fish was always very active...

Hey reefers! New reefer here - currently QTing my clowns. Finished 2 week copper tx yesterday and started prazi yesterday night in QT tank. My female clown this morning had small red/brown round spot on her head - completely new overnight. My Q is : Is this just a nip from the other clown...

Hello, I just got my two new clowns from Dr Reef today. Acclimation went well but now I notice one of them is rapidly opening and closing its mouth. The other is just dandy swimming around while the other sits in the corner. Both of them were exploring the tank when they first got in. I also...

In the hopes of finding my tank a better home, i am selling a 35 gal tank with a resident clown fish named Aleister Crowley (Al for short), as she is a notorious power bottom and practiced in the dark arts. Anyways, she, along with the gaggle of bristle worms I collectively call “Steve” and...

I have a 25 gallon salt water tank and am new to this. I am hoping to get some insight. We did a fishless cycle for a month, tested nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphate, calcium, alkalinity and magnesium. Once all levels were good, we introduced two clown fish along with a few snaps and...

Hello all. My new tank (13.5 gallon) has almost completed cycling and I am ready to add my first fish in. I was thinking of getting one clown to start off with, and eventually adding a second clown a month or so later. I do like Ocellaris clowns, and have also considered a Fancy Snowflake clown...

I’m interested in buying a small-medium <2in mocha Vinci clown. Would much prefer to pickup locally (Long Island preferred but can do NYC/north jersey if needed). If you have any, especially a pair, (both don’t have to be vinci’s) please contact me, I’m interested.

My clownfish has been sitting at the bottom of the tank like this for a couple days now. In the morning he swims up and eats but during the rest of the day he just stays low. I’ve had him for a year now and haven’t introduced any new fish ever since. Parameters are steady, ammonia, nitrite...

If you have any helpful tips I would love them. I intend to try something that may be considered controversial? I don't know. Well see this is a long post. I keep a lot of freshwater tanks, they are all planted, they have drift wood, and I use sponge filters. My 2 oldest 10 gallon tanks are so...

I have a new 25 gallon to wich im transferring two clownfish, tailspot blenny and blood shrimp. I don’t want to add any more fish and instead want to focus on inverts, I love them, crabs, sea stars, urchins, you name it. What is a good list of good inverts I can add that aren’t super tiny...

Hi all, There is something I wanna ask and see if anyone have a experience like this. So 4 month ago I bought a regular clown fish (Nemo) and an exotic one which is more white and 4 orange sections. Btw he is beautiful will post pic. So the other regular one got sick and died after 3 month...

Can’t quite understand what’s going on here. For the last 2 days this clown fish had been under the weather. Had him a year, no obvious changes to params recently. I did recently lose a new cardinal but I’m fairly sure was down to bullying as opposed to disease. Can anyone help? I treated with...

Hi! Like the flair says, a little bit of an emergency. Within the last 24 hrs, one of my clowns went from perfectly fine to this either growth or wound on her stomach. (Or best case scenario eggs? I know that’s prob not the case… However she is the female of the two). Other tank mates that I...

So I just bought a mesh breeder box for my female clown because she’s been really aggressive towards the new male I got. I was told to keep her in there for a week but I have this anemone attached to a helmet I have in the tank, so I decided to put it in there with her. Is that okay or should I...

I have a female black storm clownfish and recently I bought a black snowflake clownfish in hopes of a pair. The male I bought is a juvenile so he is much smaller than the female. I know when it comes to clowns pairing nothing is guaranteed but the female is being very aggressive with him and the...

Hi there. The other day I was at my lfs looking to purchase a pair of Wyoming white clowns for my new tank. I watched them in the store, checking to see if I saw any issues with the fish. They seemed fine to me. They were under blue light so it was harder to see. Once I got home and put them in...

So I’ve had this pair of clownfish (long fin and black storm). Up until this point they have been paired and have had no issues with them for 10 straight months. All of a sudden the female (black storm) started attacking the long fin, I didn’t think too much of so I left it alone but the next...

Hello, my friends. This is my other tank thread. I have a nano of 125L (33 Gallon), but needed to set this pico because my clowns became agressive with all the other tankmates. So, in the pico are my clowns and a Yellow Clown Goby (the only tankmate from the nano that get along with the clowns...

I want to know my clownfish, he swim vertically to the wave that come out from water filter. Does it sign something? Water parameters it's okay and salinity is 26ppt

Hi so recently we got an emerald crab that’s a little bit bigger in size… I would say he’s maybe 1” across? Definitely bigger. The BTA I have has been hosting my clown for awhile and suddenly have been noticing that the emerald crab specifically is hanging right by the BTA and almost picking at...

Hello everyone, I've been lurking on this site for years now when I started my aquarium two years ago, I have always had intentions of upgrading my 29g tall indopacific live rock fish only to a reef tank but until now didn't have the funds. The original tank was a threft from good will I picked...

Hello! This is my first saltwater tank so I'm very new to everything, but I picked up my first clownfish a couple days ago and now he only stays on the left side of the tank or up by the entrance to the overflow. He even sleeps wedged between the corner of the tank! He pretty small and is a very...

Hi everyone, I started my first ever saltwater tank a couple of months back, cycled it and added a small purple dottyback which is doing great. About 3 weeks ago I added a small wild caught clownfish and 1 week ago a small darwin clownfish. All my fish seem very healthy and are eating very well...
