clown fish

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...

Howdy Y’all, I have for a long time been highly interested in starting a reef tank. As luck would have it while on a work trip to Barbados I entered a raffle and won the 2nd place prize which was a Waterbox 25 peninsula with a bunch of other goodies. Skip to month 3 and it has been going well so...

Hello! We’ve had an established tank with a pair of clownfish and blue-legged hermits for 2 years. We’re wondering how plastic rock, plants, and anemones should be cleaned PROPERLY and how often. We usually take them out once a month or 2 and clean them with hot water and a bit of low-splash...

Hey I have 2 Ocellaris clownfish in a 150 gallon fowlr tank. I noticed when I got home that my biggest clownfish has this red “sore” on the side of her mouth. I’m not sure if it’s a wound from the other fish. Or if it is a bacterial infection or what. I tried to get some decent pictures, i...

Hi all. About an hour ago when I was feeding my clowns I noticed this spot on one of them right at the bottom of the gills where the gills and body meet. Is it something to worry about? It's head also seems to be bumpy/indented on one side as well which I will include pictures of. I just so...

One of my baby clowns who is about 9 months old has been lying on its side and breathing rapidly for 24 hours. See video. I have done a freshwater dip but I don’t think it’s a parasite as the other 30 fish are all ok. I bred them and have introduced no new fish. He seems a bit better than...

Recently added a coral beauty to my 120 tank. It started fussing with my clownfish now both have faint white blemishes. It is a little tough to see because a diamond goby is busy stirring up the sandbed

Hello everyone. My family has always had reef tanks, and I've always loved the clownfish. Now that I've moved out, I'm setting up my own nano reef and want to get a pair of picasso clowns as I think they look pretty neat. However, it seems like choosing a clownfish is a complicated process and I...

Got my 2 clown fish 3 days ago and the smallest one is constantly swimming in place. Looks like it is swimming against the current. I’m worried about it’s health. Is everything fine? Video

First time buying fish online and cultivated reef has the best prices when it comes to clowns. Has anyone ever had any problems with getting their fish shipped? Any feedback would be helpful

Will my mochas be ok in a 15 gallon? Might put a dart fish in there but for now it’ll be the mochas and some coral is this ok?

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...

Hi everyone, hoping not to annoy asking this as I’ve seen similar posts. My tank is roughly 2 months old so very new and I am learning every day about the cycling and thank this group for so much info. Is this good ‘algae’ or should I be doing something different? My levels are great: KH -...

Hello Everyone I just wanted to get your thoughts on this clownfish pair that host the corner of the tank, they have been wiggling together a lot and it seems the male has also started chasing the female a lot these past 24 hours , do you think they might be getting ready to have babies ? If so...

I bought a baby clown almost 2 weeks ago, the first week was all fine no marks on the skin but during the following weeks I found a white and transparent mark on one side of the body. No other fish attacking, and eat well. Also no sign of clamping fins. Just wanting to know what is this thing...
