Hey all,
I just finished cycling my 40 gallon a few days ago and got a pair of clowns as my first fish. They have been fairly friendly towards each other other than the occasional nip which I assume is normal as they figure out the new tank. The larger ones fins are very jagged compared to the smaller ones but I can’t tell if it’s normal, fin rot or just stress/nipping. I was worried it could be ammonia but it’s been 0 for a while now. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about? I can try to get a better picture if needed.
My parameters using Salifert tests are:
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrites: 0 ppm
Nitrates: 15 ppm
pH: 7.8
Salinity: 1.024
Alkalinity: 7 dKH
Thanks!!
