My clown fish has been acting weird. Constantly laying on their side, but will swim when I walk up to the tank. Their color looks great, I don’t see any signs of an illness. I’ve had this clown for 7-8 years now. However. There does appear to be a slight purplish mark on their one side, but...
I recently introduced a new clownfish to my tank. My old clown is a little bigger (but not by much) so I am assuming it is a female. It’s been in my tank alone for about 3 weeks after killing my 6-line wrasse. I gave her a new clown today (same kind of clown) and now she is pecking at it. Is...
He is new and my only survivor of a shipment of 5. Came with a couple of white spots on him now there's more. There's no extra slime on him, just dots.
This morning when I checked my tank, there were no dots on this clown, but when I was checking this afternoon he was absolutely covered in them. I’ve moved him into a qt. Wondering if it’s ick or brook? I’m fairly new this tank is a year old and the clown I’ve had for maybe 8-9 months. I really...
I’ve had this pair of clownfish for about a year, when I woke up this morning I noticed they weren’t together. The smaller of the two I found in the middle of the tank almost on the sand and hugging and rock. Almost never leaves the top corner except to eat. He also in normally a dark orange...
I've had my clowns for about three weeks now, my bigger clown (the spaz one) has been swimming like this quite often, especially when the blues come on. She likes to glass surf a lot during the day and swim into the power head, she mainly only doesn't spaz out during feeding, she will start...
Hi group,
After much research and reading I’m 99% convinced my Picasso Clown has Swim Bladder Disease. He was in a tank with parameters of
no3 10
po4 0.07
Salinity 1.024
Temp 76.0 F
With another Picasso, 6th line Wrasse, YWG, and a CB Shrimp.
All others are doing well.
however, my clown...
Hey guys. Wondering if this is possibly Brook or some scale damage. To me, it just looks like the scales are lifted a bit BUT lfs said clownish dont have scales. I went to another lfs right after (first one didn’t have what I came there for) and figured I would ask there. They told me that...
My clownfish was looking alright all day and after feeding this evening i got back to my tank a noticed this weird spot behind its fin..
In the picture it looks dark but in reality it kinda looks transparent/disscolored.
Im a bit worried and wondering if this could be organ damage/leak but i...
I am very new to having a salt water tank and I already am obsessed but there is still a lot to learn. When I first got my two clownfish I noticed this red dot near his gill. I figured it was normal and would heal itself (what do I know right?). I keep an eye on it but to me it looks redder than...

I've had this clownfish for about 6-7 years now. When I got it it was pretty orange, over the years it had turned mostly black. It seemed to have a grown spirt lately because it was always much smaller than the other. Does this look like a case of brooklynella? It swims and eats just fine...
Hi all, Not sure what’s going on with my clown fish he’s been acting strange lately breathing heavy laying in the sand and hanging out by the filter but eatting normal. Recently noticed some spots on his face and gills. The tanks been going now for two months and my water levels have been...
I have a new 55gal tank. After cycle was complete, I added two clownfish and 10 hermit crabs. This was 6 days ago. My clownfish’s fins look weird. The look like they have clear growths stuck to the distal ends. From reading other threads I thought it might be lymphosis since there are no other...

Can anyone diagnose what’s going on with this clown? Is it just injured, infected, possible parasite? Seen at local petco where I like to rescue the sickest clowns from and quarantine them to rehabilitate. But not sure how to treat this guy.
EDIT: after some more research I am thinking...
Hi guys!
For the past 3 days, my clownfish has been acting really weird, he is just parking in one corner of the tank, time to time he swims to the bottom or the top of the tank in that same corner, he is eating well, he is not having any trouble breathing, does not have any visible disease...

Hello,
Need some help please in ID what is wrong with my Clownfish. I noticed discoloration on body (highlighted in the picture) 4 days ago but the fish was very active and normal so kinda ignored it.
However since last night, it mostly stays at one place, does moves here and there but not like...
I've had these clowns for a decent while now and noticed they had tiny tiny spots only on their heads I hope it is nothing to stress about but any help would be appreciated
You can only see the spots if you look very very closely otherwise just looks like another healthy clown so was just curious
Hi all,
Bought my first clownfish and he’s in my tank on its 3rd day of cycling using atm colony. Ammonia levels are at 0.03ppm so all happy with that.
I’ve noticed that he’s slightly translucent, and I’m wondering whether this is a sign of general stress or more likely to be disease?
He came...
Just had a baby clown die at 23 days. I was under the impression that everything was safe at this point.
Does anyone know what the cause could be? I'd like to avoid any more deaths.
I've checked the water parameters and they all look good. Multiple filters and airstones as well, so there should...
Hello,
Two days ago I bought a pair of pink skunk clowns from my LFS. I noticed that one of them had some light white marks on some of its scales in a patch as soon as I got it in my tank. For some reason the lights at the LFS made it hard to see but it was obvious in my tank. It has gotten...
