clowfish

I’ve had these two clowns since March 4th in qt 10g, heater, bubbler, pvc. I observed them for the first 4 days and they began to show signs of Brook I jumped on here followed recommended treatment treated with ruby reef bath and dosed tank with metroplex, I also did a full water change in the...

So I’ve had this fish for about a month and she has been a head down swimmer ever since I got her so we all know clown fish are weird and I didn’t think anything of it. Today I turned up the lights to do my weekly close check of everybody and see that she has some kind of lesion/tumor and also...

Ok so I’m currently setting up a tank for clownfish for my kids. It’s an old IM 25g lagoon. Anyways I plan on having the clowns bond then hopefully mate. My question is: I know the female is bigger, the male smaller. If I, let’s say, have a Picasso and a snowflake, which should be the female...

Merry Christmas everyone! I’m new to saltwater tanks and impulse bought a 14 gallon with 2 Ocellaris clownfish on december 20th, now one of the fish seems to be sick. My Lfs gave us 10 gal of water from one of their display tanks and told us that we could add fish right away, so we got a...

Hi! This is kind of a sequel to one of my previous posts, (would a golden dwarf moray work in this setup) and now have a few more questions. I’m wondering how my fish would do with the GDM? I have a melanurus wrasse, (he’s pretty small, around 3 inches long maybe, and not wide, and when he...

I have these two clownfish who have been in the same tank for about a month and at first their pairing habits weren’t worrisome but now it’s getting a little worrying. My WW clown runs the tank while my vivid stays hidden in a crevasse under a rock until the lights turn out and comes out to...

I am stumped when it comes to problems with my 10 gallon AIO reef tank. Someone PLEASE help me. I bought the tank used just over a month ago. It came cycled with two snails and two hermit crabs. After two weeks of it running it, I bought an emerald crab and two easy SPS corals. The corals...

Hi All, I noticed a couple of months ago my clownfish were getting some black dots here and there. After doing some research i was fairly confident they were sting marks from laying in corals surrounding where they base themselves (mainly Zoas). I noticed the other day part of the white towards...

I really like the look of no top.does anyone else run there tank topless?

Hey everyone my name is Johnny and I am brand new to Reef keeping and saltwater aquariums. I originally joined Reef2Reef to learn from all of the experts here but I am also looking forward to sharing my journey and knowledge with those that come after me. I’ve been doing a lot of research on...

Hello, can anybody help me ID my clownfish please. Would be very grateful. Thanks

I got these guys on the 22nd they Appeared to have appetites but slowly over the week, they just seem to be eating and spitting out food. The healthier one has taken on to eating brine here and there. The more emaciated (swimming vertical) one hasn’t had interest in any food in two days. I just...

I am setting up a 72 gallon clownfish harem with 18 clowns. I am planning to purchase all 18 from the same clutch, plenty of Bta anemones, and feeding 4 times a day using an auto feeder to reduce aggression. I have a few questions though. The first is on flow. What type of flow pump would you...

I joined R2R yesterday, here are pictures of my tank

I have a pair of clowns which were purchased from the LFS about a month ago. All has been well until last night they developed many fuzzy white spots. The other fish in the tank, a couple of Chromis and some fire fish show no signs. Could this be brook?

I have a 40 gallon reef tank. I have at least 4 different types of coral, 2 red firefish, a watchmen goby, maroon clown, blue legged hermit crab and a Mexican Turbo snail. Everyone eats and acts normal. But I recently noticed a tiny white mucus spot near the tail of the maroon clown. At first I...

I can't seem to find them anywhere. My local stores all had ocellaris and some fancy variants but no percs since I started the hobby a few months ago. Online retailers have been sold out. Is there something about percs that make them less desirable? I think the small cosmetic differences make...

Last night i went to bed and all the fish were fine. This morning i woke up and my yellow tailed chroma was dead my banggai cardinal was dead and one of my clown fish was missing his tail and died just a few minutes ago. My levels are Nirate 0 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Ph 7.8 or 8 And the saltinity is...

Hi guys, Have you ever had a weird relationship going on in your tank? So I have two clownfish and these two were always together, they had been together for 1 year, but after I added a foxface Rabbitfish it seems like they don’t want to be together anymore. Instead one of them is always next...

So I put in 2 clowns yesterday to my tank. one did not make it because he was sick and the reef store said they would give me a new fish and the other has a cloudy eye and discoloration on his lip. please help

I currently have one clown and one damsel in my 20gal tank. I was told today that I couldn’t add another clown because would fight? Let me know what you guys think??

Sorry to say that these babies will not last long... About 4 months ago, we moved this pair of clowns into our display tank and they have adopted my Red BTA...and made a home! We'll watch this progress and post an update or so along the way.
