Hey Guys,

A couple days ago my beautiful Clown died after being attacked by the other clown. I separated them for a week and it seemed to be healing but one day I noticed it went down hill really quickly.

Today I noticed my other clown acting so weird. It was in the same spot of sand on the tank for over 12 hours just leaning on the glass. It only started to move when it came to dinner time...

I tested my water:
Salinity 1.024
Temp 25.1
pH 8
dKH 8
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5 to 10

I’ve never had better water! It’s been about 5 months and I have 3 other Damsels and 1 Fox Face in there too.

Could the Clown just be sad (I guess for lack of a a better word) it’s partner died?

I have also noticed it has a very slight pale mouth. So slight I barely noticed it.
