I felt a little betrayed since you are one of the ones I thought I could count on to be in the "cool kids we aren't testing club" with me

It has been about 4 months, minimum.. If that makes you feel better lol

Lights were off so I didn't really check the tank before I sat down with coffee, minutes later my youngest woke up. I went in to his bedroom and we came back out together. He walked past the tank and stopped and said "oh no!" There it was, my female clown. Picked her up and she flopped so I threw her back in the tank. She floated to the bottom but was breathing. Within 5 minutes she's back to swimming with the other clown like normal.

No water on the floor, glass lids on the tank. 1" gap in the back but no water on the lid to indicate she flopped in it. Only a couple days in this tank after being in a topless tank for 2 years. What the actual heck?

Happy you found her soon enough.

I keep saying I'm going to do the whole parameter test thing and then my wife says I won't... Apparently I have to stand outside and watch my son pull weeds. That's more important than "playing with my fish tank".

Ordered some live rock while I was in florida, it arrived today....

Let's see what kind of critters are inside...

If there's a mantis shrimp it's getting named Punchy The Clown.

It may still be too early in the year for mantis, but excited to see what you get.

Since I'm watching this clown now, what should I look for, infection or fungus showing up from the trauma of being out of water? Should I get any treatment ready Incase she declines?

Straight to door. nearest airport for pickup is milwaukee, 2 hours drive.

Clowns are Not surprisingly, Hardy.

There's really no treatment to be done. The most likely issue would be an injury from the fall. Nothing we can really do about that.

You're fine. Treatment can be brushed off. Unless other fish are sick. If she's actung normal, it's just another normal day.

Now if only my female clown will go get eaten....

I should be nicer to her.

Same here. Started storming late afternoon yesterday. Stormed all night and continuing today. Much of this system is the same one that hammered Ft. Lauderdale with the 25” off rain they got last Wednesday and Thursday. We’ve had almost non-stop lightening and thunder which has been very rough on 2 of the 3 dogs. It’s strange because we’ve had our Pittie for 7 years and she only became scared of storms within the last year, or so.

We’re you hiding at man?!? Everything work out with those storms? Haven’t seen ya in a couple days..
