Hi everyone, so today I finally went out and picked up my first pair of clowns. This might be me freaking out for no reason but after spending so much money on some snowflakes I just need to know..
Is there something wrong with the bottom (male) clowns fins? He doesn’t seem to be opening his tail as much as the female... any help is appreciated! You’ll see in the video that the female has a white spot on her tail but they we’re in QT at LFS with a few other semi aggressive fish. They seem to be very similar in size with what I assume is the female only 0.5cm longer. Both have been swimming around the tank and playing in the current all day so they don’t seem to be unhappy or sick.
Note: floated and drip acclimated for over an hour. The stores salinity was much lower than mine so took my time and lowered the salinity slightly in the tank (only 2 clowns in there). The female seems to be chasing the male a bit and nipping but nothing too bad. Nitrate: 5. Nitrite: 0. Amm: 0. pH: 8.2. Salinity: 32. Temp: 27C
