I have a 2 month old tank that’s 15G
Bought the clownfish 2 weeks ago
At first they seemed fine the big one seemed to be showing dominance, now she’s swimming, lethargically, and staying at the Sandbed and getting Picked on by my other smaller clown. I’m not sure what’s happening they used to swim together, the smaller one seems health , any suggestions?

Pics of the tank and fish will help a lot. Can you also advise the water parameters? How is the water oxygenated?

Unfortunately when I woke up this morning she was not alive I don’t think it was anything I was doing wrong because my other clown seems to be thriving doing clownfish activities
The waters oxygenated by the by the filter
Then I tested the water perimeters after I made the post everything was as it was supposed to be
I really think I just was unlucky

Sorry about the loss:crying-face:! Keep an eye on the other one in case something else is going on.

Does that fish show any symptoms of illness? I can’t tell if there is something on it or if it’s just the glass.

Welcome to the forum!
Post what the params are, something could be off that you don’t realize.
Were the fish quarantined? Disease is always a risk in new fish.

I’ll do another water test when I come back home later today, I’m graduating from high school and I’ll be busy all day
