Hello, I just got my two new clowns from Dr Reef today. Acclimation went well but now I notice one of them is rapidly opening and closing its mouth.

The other is just dandy swimming around while the other sits in the corner. Both of them were exploring the tank when they first got in.

I also did a water change before I put them in I attached the water parameters I did before the change. Haven’t had time to test all of them yet. IMG_2399.jpeg

You can rule out water quality issues - with two fish of the same size, from the same source, added at the same time, if one of them has symptoms and the other doesn't it just cannot be a water quality issue - both would be affected to some degree.

I would contact Dr. Reef right away to see what they think.
