clowfish

Hey all, I am new to reef tanks and since I live in a compact space for the moment the fluval EVO 13.5 is all I really have room for. I know it is going to be harder to upkeep than a larger tank would be but I have to make do with what I have. I am currently running everything stock. Other...

Had my black and white clowns a little over a year, along with a royal gramma. it’s been a little hot in UK, tank temp 25c has fluctuated 0.5-1.5c most days for a week or so Around 6 weeks ago I changed my aquascape with dry rocks and doses bacteria, this went fine. Around 3 weeks ago I left...

Hello I’m getting a Waterbox 15 mini peninsula tank and was messing around with a few aquascape ideas, this is what I have come up with so far, looking for suggestions and recommendations on how to improve. I was also wondering if adding only a small piece of live rock is enough to seed the tank...

Just got this clownfish today and she looked perfectly healthy in the store but once I got her home and started to float her I noticed a filmy white coating all over her. This was really only visible under my blue light. I did a freshwater dip but there was no visible change. She’s very alert...

Howdy, Picked up a couple designer clowns from a LFS that was closing down. As such, they only charged me what they’d charge for a standard percula ($25). Anyone know what variety these may be? Sorry for the potato quality pictures. Thanks!

I am looking to get a long tentacle anemone or two ;) but I am not sure the best places to buy them online. I am not looking for any crazy expensive types or anything but a having color options would be nice. Unlucky for me there are no local places that sell them. Any help or point to the right...

Hey all! My pair clownfish were pairing up really well until One of them(female) got greedy and became aggressive to male. The victim eventually gasped for air, hid near the intake and lost most of its fin(due to nipping and stress from his aggressor). Luckily, I managed to put the stressed out...

Hey all, I have clowns in a QT and it’s day 3 only monitoring… Today after a feed I noticed one has started rubbing it’s face occasionally (see Video) is this a cause for concern? Nothing visible on the body, no heavy breathing or anything untoward. They have been darting around more than...

Since things are moving along nicely, thought I would start my build thread! Currently have the aquascape set up and am in the process of making sea water to fill and start cycling. Below is a picture of the scape (MarcoRocks). My wife and I also just picked up our first fish and have them in...

Hello! I am hoping that someone will be able to assist me in troubleshooting a new issue with my clown fish (see attached pictures). I have a total of two, one is completely fine and acting normal. The smaller of the two is having a hard time swimming. He will sink to the bottom and flop...

I am new to the saltwater hobby , I have a evo that’s has been set up for about 3 months now. I am now looking to make some upgrades such as lights ect. Just not sure which ones i should focus on first. Also what would be the best anemone for this tank and would i need upgraded lights ? I just...

So I recently posted to figure out what one of my clowns is the female clown and the one that seemed like the female is definitely the male because he just started getting chased around and nipped at by the female why did this just happen so suddenly also now he is at the surface of the water...

Hello R2R! To preface, I have an Aquatop 24 Gallon AIO Cube, and still have issues with green hair algae (I used to have bubble and red pom pom algae, but both types have died out over time). I recently had a bit of a snail die off event, losing 9 Astrea snails over the span of a few weeks. I...

Thanks for checking out my post. This is Bonnie and Clyde with the collective. Nano Anemone tank

I have a pair of Mocha Gladiator Clowns and a Coral Beauty Angel. They eat the frozen mysis shrimp, but don’t seem too happy with it. I also have marine pellets that the clowns like but the angel doesn’t seem to like. My biggest concern is the angel because it doesn’t seem to eat much. What’s...

I’m in the process of parting together my 250 gallon beast, got impatient, and saw Waterbox having a 10 gallon cube sale and came up with this. Attached a AI Prime 16 HD Reef on it for good measure. Now debating if I want to make it a nano reef or a nano anemone tank!

Hello :) I recently “inherited” (for lack of better term) a 120 gallon tank from a friend. The tank has 4 clownfish, 1 blue velvet damsel, 1 yellow damsel, 1 wrasse and a lawnmower blenny. It also has a green carpet anemone. I’m clueless when it comes to the anemone. Does it look healthy...

I have a pair of clownfish that have decided they want to try and host in my gsp even though the anemone has settled right next to it. Is there any way to try and get them into the anemone instead of the green star polyp as it seems to stress the coral or do I just have to accept that they gsp...

Should I be worried about my clownfish?, it poops long white strings occasionally like every 4-5 days, but has no signs of slowing down, both of them eats like a pig lol, I only feed pellet foods about three times a day and 3-4 pellets each clown, they are both juveniles.

I got this gig from @galactic_coral on 08/20/20. Since there were no other anemones with high risk of infection in the tank, the gig went directly into DT. At the time the DT was a 40B which was upgraded to SCA 120 gallon 7-8 months ago. Prior to the upgrade the tank was illuminated by two...

Hello everyone, I wanted to introduce myself I am Eli and I just set up my first saltwater tank, it's for my office so working on a smaller scale. It's a 10 gallon with 2 clown so far, going to wait a bit to start adding more to the tank. Any suggestions, recommendations, comments ETC I would...

My female clown has this strange little red mark directly below the dorsal fin on both sides of her body (pictures above.) Is this an abrasion or some kind of bacterial disease? She’s acting perfectly fine and I don’t see it in any of my other fish.

Hello everyone, I was wondering why my clown has a white string attached to his body? I have not fed them yet since I got them yesterday. Ammonia:1 Nitrite:0 Nitrate:0 PH:8.5 The other clown does not have this at the moment.

I recently got a waterbox 85.3 frag tank, according to the sticker the display up top is about 55 gallons rest is in the sump. was wondering if anyone can share input on colorful interactive fish, nothing too skittish , goal is a reef tank so preferably reef safe or with caution would be good...
