I have a very large female Cinnamon Clownfish female I got her from a LFS she was turned in because owner tore down the tank, I've tried to pair her to two different small Cin Clowns and she is semi aggressive but after a week or two she ends up killing or trying to kill the small clown. I...
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...
I have 25 gallon lagoon mixed reef with 1 sole white lightning maroon clownfish (3” size) I’m not sure on his aggressiveness since I’ve had no other fish with him. How likely or rather unlikely will I be able to introduce another fish or 2 into my tank. I wouldn’t mind trying to make a pair of...
They have been together in this tank for over 6 months. a few days ago I started to notice some fights, but today it's super intense. Is this fight level still considered normal or do I need to remove one of them?

I bought a 13.5 evo tank with a full set up from a seller than was over the hobby. I made a bunch of upgrades as well and had to handle a crazy outbreak of algae from him.
However, this tank came with a pair of 2.5 year old clownfish. I was wondering if I could add another small fish like a...
Unfortunately I think I must rehome my Clowns (Amphiprion percula).
They were the first fish in my 90 gallon (Red Sea XL425). They never really cared for my aquascaping efforts at multiple caves and arches, they just bobbed around the corners for months. This was fine.
Two weeks ago, I...
Hi Everyone,
I recently just bought my first salt water tank from a guy in my area and 2 clown fish. The tank has been running for about 2 weeks now, however the 2 clownfish just started chasing constantly all day today. The seller told me he bought them from a place that had bonded them already...
I have had my 13.5 gallon Fluval Evo AIO for about 4.5 years. I've had a pair of occelaris clowns since starting the tank. Recently, the large (almost 4 inches) female started bullying the male and, I think due to the bullying, he jumped out of the tank. I recently added a small clown and the...
Has anyone ever heard of a Clownfish pairing with something that isn’t a Clownfish at all?
Backstory: I had 2 paired clownfish and at some point I bought a single Green Chromis. During the day the pair of clowns and the Chromis would do their own thing, but at night the 3 would rest side by...
Hi everyone Im assuming my female clownfish killed my male clownfish. She was attacking the male all day(Monday) and by the next day(Tuesday) the clownfish was missing. Even though they lived in harmony for 4 months my theory was the male was too small(a baby when I got him) and could not live...
Just an hour ago I discovered my clownfish is not using its tail fin to swim anymore. It is just using its pectoral fins. This is not normal. He is eating fine and he has full color except in the underside. He has ripped fins all alone the bottom of him. Just the bottom fins not the top. Those...
I bought one mocha storm clown fish three days ago today I bought a black snowflake and a bubble chip anatomy they both hosted the anatomy me at first but then the black snowflake started being aggressive with the storm and scared him off what should I do is this normal or could this progress to...
Testing with Salifert and API respectively, my magnesium is 1530 and calcium is 360. Is this normal? Should I dose calcium? If so, how much?
My tank is 20 gallons.
Also got a male and female cleaner shrimp recently. The female died this morning, wondering if the clowns pestered her too much or...

Dear reefers,
Not that long ago I bought a new Orange Stripe Prawn Goby and I loved him. But after 2 days I noticed my Clownfish were attacking my goby, because of that I had to remove the Goby. But now I really want to add a new fish but I don't want the same thing to happen, I know every...
Hello,
I recently set up a new tank and added two blackice clownfish. They were friendly with each other at first and now recently the one primarily white clownfish keeps attacking the other. They both twitch at each other here and there but the aggression hasn’t stopped. No damage has occurred...
2 days ago I added a beautiful Orange Stripe Prawn Goby to my 30 gallon tank. After 1 day I noticed that one of my clowns bit his tail but I didn't worry about it because clowns are very territorial. Now at the second day when I got home I noticed anther bite in his upper fin. Now I’m starting...
Hi all, so I picked up my clownfish two days ago and they were sold as a pair. However today I noticed that they were totally going at it and the smaller one has some tears on his (pectoral?) fins from bites- which only showed up within the past day :(
1. What should I do? Do I intervene or...
I posted recently about one of our clownfish acting strange, but now I have more general questions.
We have 3 clownfish that all came together (yes I know 3 is a crowd) and we have had them for months with no issues. A few days ago I had multiple issues at once and panicked (tank salinity was...
Hey guys,
I have had two clownfish for roughly 3 months now and my LFS just told me I could get two more the other day. So I got two babies and to no surprise, the older brother (or sister lol) is being very mean to the new two fish, pinning them in a corner behind my protein skimmer. Their...
So I've had a pair of ocellaris clowns together for about 10 months now and they love each other. Always doing the dance and hanging out with each other. Part of me thinks they're at least thinking about becoming a breeding pair, as they clean out this section of my tank regularly.
Anyway, I...
A little back story I just moved, and placed my clown pair in a 5 gallon tank I had already setup at the new place long before the move just a holding tank until I got the main tank setup (I wanted/needed to finally paint the back of the tank and took this opportunity). The clowns were only in...
Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone has experience with blood orange clowns?
If so, how big do they get as adults? Are they compatible with other clowns, such as a black snowflake? Since they are a hybrid. Thanks! 
So in my previous post I had trouble pairing my WW and vivid ocellalris. Probably an hour after my post my WW started fighting the vivid super aggressively and he would not stop. I took the vivid out and transferred it to my friends fish tank so that it could heal and unfortunately it succumbed...
About 3 months ago me and my boyfriend bought a nano-saltwater tank (upgrading soon) with two ocellaris clownfish. We also bought a cleaner shrimp all from PetCo (there are no marine stores near us), and the tank was running perfect. All levels were good, our male Svedka was doing the submissive...
