sick clownfish

Hello, My 32.5-gallon tank has been running for 3 months with stable parameters: 1.025 salinity, 24.5°C temperature, 0 ammonia, and 0 nitrites. I do a 15% water change weekly. I added two juvenile clownfish (a black one and an orange gladiator) from a reputable local fish store (LFS) that...

Hi all I’ve noticed the past 2 days my clown has been acting strange sitting on the sand bed for long periods of time he’s eating fine and will swim actively I’ve read on a thread that behaviour like this can happen eventually leading to death and not knowing the cause all parameters are fine...

I thought it was fungus so it rested with maracyn oxy and it seemed to improve/ his overall energy level improved during treatment. I stopped treatment because ammonia in my tank spiked But the bump is back, and worse. Should I continue with maracyn? Or is there something better for fungus? IS...

I recently introduced a new clownfish to my tank. My old clown is a little bigger (but not by much) so I am assuming it is a female. It’s been in my tank alone for about 3 weeks after killing my 6-line wrasse. I gave her a new clown today (same kind of clown) and now she is pecking at it. Is...

Help! My clownfish started acting sick yesterday. All levels are good tanks at 77 degrees He is breathing heavily and just laying on bottom of tank, occasionally will swim but looks kinda drunk. No noticeable discoloration or injuries. Did freshwater bath and gave seachem metroplex.

My clownfish has been sitting at the bottom of the tank like this for a couple days now. In the morning he swims up and eats but during the rest of the day he just stays low. I’ve had him for a year now and haven’t introduced any new fish ever since. Parameters are steady, ammonia, nitrite...

So I just recently got my first saltwater tank setup. After a 3 day cycle I decided to get a single Percula Clownfish to help get that ammonia spike for the full cycling process. But, just yesterday, I noticed it had this white stuff start appearing under it's right eye. I'm only more familiar...

Hi All and thanks in advance. I have a pair of storm clowns that are about 4 months old living in a 13 gallon reef tank. They were very cute together. Everyday when the lights turned off like clockwork they would go to their spot and snuggle together through the night. Then about a month ago one...

She seems to be swimming fine and even chasing the male once in these videos. She’s breathing rather rapid and seems her gills are now swollen or burnt? She will try and eat food then shake to spit it back out, as if it isn’t going down easily or she can’t swallow it. Ph: 8.3 Ammonia: 0...

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I hope its in the right place. I have been taking care of my dad's saltwater aquarium and noticed this discoloration on both sides of one of the clownfish. My dad has two of these and the other one also seems to slow a similar discoloration. Is this a...

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...

Hi all, Please help. Got this clown about a week ago. Appears to have some sort of white growth around its one gill and it's fin near said gill seems to be rotting. I'm setting up a quarantine holding tank while I wait for responses. Please help!

Hi all, this is my first post here (been waiting to make a build post). I'm looking for some help with a possible diagnosis. My first saltwater tank has been cycled for a little over a month now. Last weekend I added my first two clownfish. They are pretty small but one is bigger than the...

Hi! My clownfish has been acting a bit weird he is just parking in one corner of the tank, time to time, he swims to the bottom or the top of the tank in that same corner, he is eating well, and he is not having any trouble breathing, does not have any visible ich or velvet. But I don't know I...

Hello, I’m new to reefing and have been absorbing tons of info on this site. Thank you to all who share your experience for us newbies! Unfortunately, I have had my tank for about 60 days and 1 of my clownfish is struggling and would appreciate any advice! Pictures attached. It’s the larger of...

Hey guys, New reefer here and I just bought a clownfish about two/three weeks ago. Last week he stopped eating for two days and I gave him a freshwater bath plus dosed the tank with prazi. He ate the next day but went back to not eating 24 hours later and then I saw him poop white. I gave...

I need some help! I got 2 clownfish that look to have caught something. They both seem to be eating still and swimming around the tank fine but their body color and coats look off. They are my first two fish I got along with a hectors goby. I added all three of them to the tank about two weeks...

Hi, About 1.5-2 weeks ago I noticed my juvenile male angulatus wrasse losing some parts of his tail. I thought it was normal as he was a young fish and I know they are constantly changing. I thought it was fine until last Friday (8/19/22) I noticed the same happening to my Black Ice Longfin...

Hello. I got a pair of clownfish for a 13.5 gallon tank yesterday, and one of them has been acting strange since I got him. One of my clownfish is really active and loves swimming around the tank, and eats his food. The other is always sideways and is just opening and closing his mouth. He is...

Hello everyone! Long time lurker here. I have a female clarkii clownfish that has been sick for a LONG time now. It’s been at least 1.5-2 months of symptoms with no serious development. I called the LFS and they were not helpful, I’m surprised she’s still alive. She floats near the top, has...

We got a new pair of Clarkii Clowns today and we brought them home and they were acting fine at first. They ate during feed time, were swimming around the whole tank. We did a water change this morning before they went in. Just recently they started acting really strange, laying down on the...
