clownfish

I have had my 13.5 gallon Fluval Evo AIO for about 4.5 years. I've had a pair of occelaris clowns since starting the tank. Recently, the large (almost 4 inches) female started bullying the male and, I think due to the bullying, he jumped out of the tank. I recently added a small clown and the...

Can anyone ID what is on my orange clown? It looks like a cloudy white substance. The fish seems fine and unbothered. I haven't noticed any change in behavior, heavy breathing or anything else concerning. However, I've only had the fish for 4 days. I also have another clown, a goby and a cleaner...

Hey everyone I'm not new to saltwater but this is the first time having a tank of my own that is a smaller setup. My main problem is I have a tiny clownfish with a little blueish/blackish lump between it's side fins it looks like it is inside the fish itself . I couldn't find any disease that...

Hi, I’ve been treating my female clownfish for about 3 weeks in my QT tank. She got over her bacterial or fungal build up and has been healing for almost 2 weeks. The build up of bacteria or fungus was gone and she had a bunch of exposed tissue (missing scales?) showing. She didn’t get an...

Hi - I have a clownfish that started breathing heavily two days ago. I also noticed its been inserting the tentacles of the hammer it has been hosing, and putting them in its mouth and then pulling away. The clownfish have been hosting the hammer for two months and I never saw this behavior...

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...

My new clownfish developed - what has to be - fin rot. I rushed him to LFS and they agreed. I am treating him in qt with Kanaplex (day 2). I can't tell if he's back to eating (he had stopped). Wondering if anyone has had a clown recover from this? As I was trying to net him yesterday part...

I have three clownfish in my tank, and the tomato clown is hellbent on being hosted by my condy. It rubs in it and swims off, doesn’t have any apparent damage. I’ve read conflicting things about if they can host or not? I feed the condy, so I’m not sure if that will matter or not? The other two...

My names Andie, I’ve had freshwater tanks for several years but after a devistating tank collapse i turned to solely saltwater. I have a snowflake eel, Indian mud eel, two cinnamon clown fish and one tomato clownfish, sea hare, a bunch of snails and blue leg hermits. We have gsp, torch coral...

Have hopefully attached a video of my clowns both of which have some white patches on them easiest seen on the black male and some even look see through on him! They are both acting the same and eating fine. I have added 3 new corals in the last couple of days but otherwise nothing different to...

Hello everyone, Today I'd like to talk about hybrid clownfish and the growing popularity around them. If you have any photos or videos documenting your luck with cross breeding please post below. Other questions what clowns hybrid well and easy to mix? What are the more difficult breeds to mix?

Hellooo So I’ve been cycling my aquarium since June. In my aquarium I have reef base rock and aquarium sand. The rock looks like white coral. As water evaporates I just add in some filtered freshwater. *My goal is to get a clown fish* my tank is heated and has a filter and a light. Recently I...

Hello, does anyone know what morph these clownfish are?

Heres what happened, Im fighting dinos, specifically procentrum, and I started dosing silicates. I used sponge excel, and dosed 5 drops into 10 gallons. The drops did harden upon contact with the water and turn into white flakes. I know that silicate based solutions are caustic to humans, but...

Hi, I am shocked. I have had my clown for almost a year now. I had a pair about 10-11 months ago, and they got ich and the larger one died. I freshwater dipped the smaller one and the clown pulled through, and grew a lot. I then 5-6 months later got a Black Ice Clown (about half her size). No...

So a few days ago I got a hammer coral. 3 heads, with new buds at the bottom. It’s a really nice piece! I’ve made a few posts about it, asking questions and what not, but now I have a curveball. My Ocellaris Clown (male) has started nipping at it and causing it to retract. I don’t think he’s...

Hi all, Had this clown for 2-3 months now. A couple weeks ago a white spot under his right pictorial fin with some light swelling showed up. It then seemed to clear up. I just noticed tonight that he was swimming lazily, and on close inspection found a sore again in the same spot as before, and...

One of my clownfish is showing white bumps around its mouth and I’m not sure what it is. I started noticing the white around its mouth yesterday but today there’s a pretty pronounced bump. Any idea what it is and how I should treat it if needed? Attached photos

I’m new to saltwater and recently added two clownfish after cycling my tank for a few months. All levels were normal when I added them, and they’ve been eating well. Before tonight, this fish was swimming normally and breathing normally. Now, it’s at the bottom of the tank and breathing rapidly...

I am currently trying to put a new ocellaris clown into my 20g tank. I had two clownfish before, but one died, so this is the replacement. However, the new clownfish is approx 3 inches, while the clown I already have is about 1.5 inches. I’m worried about putting them together and having the big...

Hi, i have had my two clownfish for about 3 weeks now. And was wondering if they look healhy? They are eating good and are activ and clowning around through out the day and sleeping at night

Hey everyone, So I have a clownfish named Cooli who seems to be happy and healthy. He likes to swim near my leather coral and dart around the tank through the flow. He's fat and fed clams, pellets, mysis, and even pieces of earthworms (all my fish love them). I was wondering if it would be...

Has anyone ever heard of a Clownfish pairing with something that isn’t a Clownfish at all? Backstory: I had 2 paired clownfish and at some point I bought a single Green Chromis. During the day the pair of clowns and the Chromis would do their own thing, but at night the 3 would rest side by...
