    EMERGENCY Clownfish beat up and dying

    Hello, this afternoon as I was feeding my fish I noticed that one of my black clowns weren’t coming out to eat as this one always does. He always gets bullied and bit so I just thought he was hiding for a moment. But then 5 minutes went by he still wasn’t out and his buddy always kept swimming...

    Fish breathing fast most likely not a disease...

    OK so long story short around March 9, 2024 I noticed my fish (2 clowns) breathing heavily and I didn't know what was going on.

    Clownfish aggression

    Hi all, I recently started my tank 1 month ago, and once cycled I added two juvenile, captive bred ocellaris clownfish from my LFS (one black and white one, one gladiator).
