clownfish

Last resort for my clownfish was a freshwater dip after the medication I was using did nothing. Did a freshwater dip for a little over 5 minutes because he was swimming around so much I couldn’t catch him. Seemed like he was doing great, barely had to physically move him and make him swim. Saw...

Hi, I just reintroduced my clownfish to my display tank after a 3 month QT period. After a day he developed a sort of white fuzzy patch on his white band. Today I noticed a single white dot on his face. Since the DT was fallow for 3 months, and he was in QT for 3 months I am wondering if this is...

Hey everyone, I have 3 fish in quarantine right now and all are doing great, except yesterday I noticed a white like bulge coming from my one of my smaller clownfish (pictures below). I do have another clownfish that is significantly larger who I do see bullying him at times, I also have a fox...

My phantom clown has both eyes bulging. I dont see cloudiness but the eyes are black so its hard to tell. hes hanging near the back wall i dont think he can see. It was fine yesterday and all other fish are fine as well. I can get pictures soon but does anyone have ideas? Is it possible both...

Hi, I got a new 15 gallon tank and did a salt water aquarium setup 3 weeks back. I left the tank idle for a week and treated it with beneficial bacteria liquid (seed) and also added food pellets and did measurements, I couldn’t see any spike in ammonia. It was constant 0. so I went to the...

Tl;dr - watch the attached video and let me know if you think this fish looks ill. :) Apologies in advance for the length. A little over 4 months ago, some friends who were moving gave us this FO 40g tall tank. It came with four clownfish - one cinnamon, two orange ocellaris, and one black &...

So I've had a pair of ocellaris clowns together for about 10 months now and they love each other. Always doing the dance and hanging out with each other. Part of me thinks they're at least thinking about becoming a breeding pair, as they clean out this section of my tank regularly. Anyway, I...

I had to separate my male clownfish from the tank as he injured his eye and I wanted to treat him in quarantine with some antiseptic and it has now healed and he is ready to go back into the tank. I am a little worried that the female won't recognise him or will be aggressive as they have been...

Hi everyone, I’m fairly inexperienced at keeping marine fish but I’ve managed to get 6 months in without any disasters - touch wood. But I’m now having concerns about my clownfish. I first noticed something may be wrong around 2 weeks ago, under blue lights I noticed what looked like white...

the edges of his fins have had little whiter marks that I assumed were nip marks from the larger clown. Directly on his gills, I noticed some slimey looking white splotch. I received this fish from ORA breeder, which has a history of very healthy fish, but anything can happen. Should I be...

Hey guys, I'm currently quarantining two small clownfish and one small 6-line wrasse. Over the course of a week I have slowly been bringing them up to therapeutic levels of copper. I am noticing that both clowns have white stringy poop which, (feel free to correct me if I am wrong) are symptoms...

I suppose my question is, would it be possible that OG clown never actually made the transition, and has just been exhibiting the behavior thusfar? Today OG clown is eating more than I've seen it eat in the past month, which is a good sign, but I'm just nervous about if the newcomer doesn't see...

Hi guys, I was wondering if it is rare for a clownfish to have little marks on its cheek that make it look like it is blushing (it has the same spot on both cheeks)? I found this clownfish, but haven't seen to be able to find too many pictures of others. I'm relatively new at designer clownfish...

Hello, I got this clownfish last Sunday. My lfs already had him in step 1 and 2 medication ( the green and blue one). Also when I got him I did a FW dip and he had no flukes. He is in copper for the last 9 days ( @2.0ppm - Copper Power). He had some white spots the second day and after that he...

Hello, I have 2 clownfish. They have been together for about 5 months now. Over the last 4 days, both clowns haven't really eaten, which seems to stem from the female not wanting to eat and the male follows suit. Here's the back story. I have a 55 gallon mixed reef tank. It got ich, so I went...

Its always been a question for me - why do people (to me incorrectly) - say that clowns host anemones - when in fact it seems (to me) that its the other way around. So I decided to do a poll - which should it be - and Please comment 'Why'? Might as well have some happy discussion during the...

Hello! I recently had an ich outbreak in my DT. When that happened, I setup a QT tank, and treated the fish in Copper Power for 30 days (2.0 - 2.5 concentration), and PraziPro for 10 days. Then, while my DT tank continues to be fallow, I put the clownfish into a sterile larger tank with PVC...

Hey guys, i’m finally getting into corals! I’ve got some credit from the LFS aswell (about 275$ ) and i wanted to get into reefing anyways. I currently have 4 BTA’s and 4 clowns, 1 blue tang, 1 six line wrasse, 1 coral beauty, green damsel, fox face rabbit fish and a “rock dweller” i think...

Located in Castro Valley and selling my single Snowflake Clownfish. Message me if you have any questions.

Ive had my first clownfish for just over a week now and the last couple days his tail was getting darker but when i woke up this morning i noticed he has pop eye in both his eyes and some of his skin is peeling. Please help me diagnose whats wrong and set up a plan for treatment. Any help is...

I put my fish in yesterday with some snails and crabs. One fish had normal poo and the other white and stringy. I read that white means parasites. If they both came from the same pet shop and tank wouldn’t they both be infected?

So my girlfriend has had 4 clownfish now who have all died mysteriously. The tests are completely fine and everything is where it should be. Salinity is 1.025/35ppt. Is this marine velvet or ick? All of her fish have died within 24 hours of showing signs of sickness and have all died looking the...

Hi guys, to get most storm babies, should I pair my male black storm with a female Darwin or another black storm, pls help me guys, thx

Thinking about ordering a small clownfish from cultivated reef because it seems to be a lot cheaper than most other sites. Any suggestions or thoughts on cultivated reef?

I got this BTA back in August and it’s grown a bit too. Overall it’s pretty healthy. Sometimes at night after I feed it though, it will just throw up all the food completely undigested. The pic I attached is currently right now and I fed the BTA 9 hours ago. For it’s size, I would assume it...
