sick clownfish

Hi and Happy Holidays to you all. I'm new to saltwater and never had clownfish. I started the journey 3weeks ago. Set up the tank 13.5gallon evo with live sand, dry rock an seeded with Dr Tims and added the ammonia. 1week later 90% water change and added (2) clowns and biospira. Noticed...

My fish is pretty pale. I've done a check on the parameters and everything is okay. Ammonia 0, Nitrate 0, Nitrate 0. It's odd that everything is reading 0... my ph is kinda on the high side since I have a cleaner shrimp. It's 8.4 about. I got the shrimp 4 days ago if this makes a difference...

Hello I would like some help. Also I am new to this salt water tank thing! I love it so far but man it’s hard compared to fresh! Excited to be a part of this community. I have a 55 gallon tank. 2 months old. FOWLR. Currently have two Bangnaii Cardinals and chromies. And they have been healthy...

Hi, I've had my first clownfish, two of them, for 3 weeks now. Nitro and Nissan. I dosed prazi, metro, and have given both clowns melafix since getting them, as Nissan was injured from being housed with aggressive fish previously and I was nervous about parasites. Nitro, the smaller clownfish...

So I just got 2 Clownfish 3 days ago. 1 is very active and swimming all over, the second is just barely swimming and staying on the sand. It doesn't look bad, but I'm not really sure what to look for, maybe a little off color... Parameters are pH 8.0, Ammonia 0.0,Nitrite 0.0, Nitrate 0-5, temp...

Hi all, I’ve had my ocellaris for almost 3 months, all has been going well but today his behaviour has been very strange. His mouth has been moving rapidly and he almost seems in a daze. All morning he has been hiding under part of my rock work and has only ventured out this evening. He’s not...

Our new clownfish isnt looking so good (see youtube vid). We got her from a reputable breeder 3 days ago and she has been eating little, her breathing has become more labored, and she is less and less active. We were trying to do tank transfer and she is currently in a 2.5 gal with pvc pipe and...

Merry Christmas everyone! I’m new to saltwater tanks and impulse bought a 14 gallon with 2 Ocellaris clownfish on december 20th, now one of the fish seems to be sick. My Lfs gave us 10 gal of water from one of their display tanks and told us that we could add fish right away, so we got a...

I need some help/advice. I have a pair of Ocellaris clowns together, only fish in their tank which they have been in for almost 2 years together, nothing new has been added, no anemone, no change in foods, water parameters are well within the norm. My female is not doing great, her mouth seems...

I just found one of my 2 snowflake clowns down on the sand bed breathing really heavily. I kind of poked at him with my net and he swims likes he's drunk. My cleaner shrimp does the same thing, starts messing with him and he gets this little burst of energy but doesn't swim productively at...

**Edit- link to clown video Hi guys- cycled a 30G tank for a month. Got two clownfish on Sunday. Did a water change Thursday. One clown spit out all his food, and he’s little so I thought it couldn’t fit in his mouth, I crushed it up and he would take little bits. Went back to the store I...

On 11/18/19 one of the two clownfish we have in our nano tank started to act differently. Nothing has changed in the tank in the last month since having them. Parameters: Temperature - 78.3 Salinity - 1.024 PPT Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 2 ppm PH - 8.2 Symptoms: - Heavy breathing -...

My tank is 2 months old. I added 2 juvenile Percula Clownfish at the very beginning and they have been great. 3 weeks later I added a Royal Gramma and they all were great. 2 weeks later I added an Orchid Dottyback. Again, all great. 1 week ago I added 5 new snails. None of them were...

Hey folks, Came home to find my clownfish with a swollen and cloudy eye. This is the first time I have ever seen anything like this so I thought I would reach out and see what the general consensus is and whether or not there is anything I can do for her. She is pretty prone to chase her...

(please dont hate if this is in the wrong section I wasn't sure where to put it) so I got this clown by accident (long story) and after a a day it developed clouded eyes, I think this was because the 2 clowns already in my system were bullying it. so I moved the clown into qt and started...

I have had this Maroon Clown for over a year. I purchased it through a craigslist ad and do not know how old it is. I believe the previous owner had it for some time. It usually stayed in one corner of my tank and occasionally swam around. Always came out to eat something and always ate its...

I bought this clownfish from a LFS two weeks ago. He was doing great. Eating, active, fine until yesterday. Yesterday I noticed that he had what looked like some little red spots under his skin. Then today, it looks like those little red spots have turned black and are multiplying. Does anyone...
