Hello hello! Greeting from Texas. As you all know we've had bad power for the last week, and this morning when we got another outtage(after everything, I know!) our female clown decided to jump the tank. That leaves us with our smaller male whose hosting in a lovely toadstool mushroom. The...

My tang came down with this about 10 days ago and it spread to my blue jaw trigger, royal gramma, and both clowns. The gramma has since passed. The fish are clearly distressed but still take food.

Hey everyone! As title says, I’m looking at buying my very first clownfish pair to add to a tank! I know it’s good to get clowns that have already mated, or if not to get two of equal of equal size, or one slightly bigger?? but really, I’d like to know upon buying a pair, what are the best...

Hello all, I am a returning member of the reef community after years off, and new to the site! Please excuse me while I learn the etiquette and how to ask what I'm thinking in my head. I've set up a 20G Nuvo Peninsula tank in my office and so far here is what I've done. I'm mainly concerned...

Hey all! I'm fairly new to this hobby, and have a question. For reference sake, I'll be using the AquaOne Mini Reef 120Litre tank. I've been looking at getting two clownfish, but have been thinking maybe only getting one and then a buddy fish they get along with well. Anyone recommend a fish...

Hey everyone! I need a bit of help choosing the correct tank size for my ocellaris clownfish. I’ve got the options to pick between a 96Litre (25G US) and a 120L (31G US) tank. I’d normally always go the bigger sized tank, but I’ve found an amazing deal on some new preowned equipment which...

I just bought my first 2 clowns today and I have a 480gph wavemaker in the tank. After letting them sit for a bit when I first put them in I realized they were being really pushed around by the current my wavemaker is making. I ended up turning it off and it's been about 12hours. I just turned...

Hey guys, I have had two clownfish for roughly 3 months now and my LFS just told me I could get two more the other day. So I got two babies and to no surprise, the older brother (or sister lol) is being very mean to the new two fish, pinning them in a corner behind my protein skimmer. Their...

I have a Biocube 29 that has been running great for 3+ years. I have an ocellaris clown that is 5+ years old. I just gained more live rock and coral from a buddy who just broke down his tank. (I fully understand the issues of taking on someone else’s reef problems without quarantine) That...

I can't figure out what is wrong with my clowns. Had them for 3 months. Only fish in the tank. Added some CUC and corals over the last 2 months. All corals QT'd and dipped multiple times, CUC wasn't QT'd. A pair of clowns was tank bred at the local LFS. I did notice female had white stringy poop...

You guys... I'm SO EXCITED!!! We finally got our clowns today! We got a pair of Black Ice Snowflake Clowns along with an Ultra Rose Anemone and a Maxima Clam. I decided to only buy my livestock from Adam at Ocean Devotion LA because of his QT procedures. Before these clowns we got a Dejardini...

Hello everyone, I’m new to the hobby and just set up my tank a couple of days ago. After cycling I was looking into getting some clownfish and a goby. I know there is multiple different types of gobies and was wondering what you guys think is the best one? I want to pair the goby with a pistol...

Hi! I have a 20 gallon species tank for ocellaris clownfish. Currently I am looking into getting a longfin mocha, I just love the way they look. My other clown is a 2 year old mocha female. In the future I would love to breed them. Is the gene that causes long fins dominant or recessive? What...

I started fish keeping/aquascaping/aquarium keeping whatever you wanna call it, about 12 years ago with a saltwater tank. I loved it, people complemented it all day long........then it crashed. Hard. I knew nothing about the nitrogen cycle or anything else for that matter. All I knew is 1.023...

Here are a few pictures showing off the FOUR Nems that I have. Well I love that my one Nem that I bought a year ago was so happy that I now have four. However, I need to move a few of them. I have tried pointing the powerhead at them to tick them off and get them to move. That did not do...

Ok, I have a 55 tank with a coral beauty angelfish in it and one frag of eagle eye zoas and one frag of hot pink montipora coral. I am planning on getting 2-4 erectus sea horses. Now, before you start, I am fully aware that they are SUPER hard to keep and Im up for the challenge. I easily have...

Hello friends. Exciting things are happening. Tank is cycling now so I want to plan what fish will go in. Here is a list of a few, please add or subtract. I REALLY want a blue throat trigger or Niger trigger, so please tell me when I should place those (first, middle, last)? Pair of...

This starts with a family of the spectacular blue-striped clowns in their stylish purple carpet anemone. The larger female was doing some house cleaning around the mouth of the anemone to remove some sand particles. Then we have a look at the largest tomato clown colony I have ever seen...

I purchased a couple nice, healthy looking clowns from the LFS this weekend. First is a wyoming white, he was $120. He's got awesome white diamond markings under both eyes, I couldnt resist. I also purchased a premium gladiator in hopes they might bond. Very beautiful colors. Is he a...
