clown fish

After finally deciding to shut down my rejected TMC signature due to a move, I felt it was finally time to downgrade. I’ve moved all surviving inhabitants from my old system to my new one and am using as little equipment as possible, mainly made up of random things I’ve collected over the years...

So this is my first reef tank that I recently started and so for I think it is a success. I got a good deal at PetSmart that came with the filter, heater, lights net and thermometer. I already had a small 10 gal tank with fresh water fish and decided to try a salt water reef tank for the first...

I’m not sure what’s going on but my clownfish starting getting these spots behind her fins on both sides. They are in the same spot on each side. Now one looks like a cut with something hanging out. This is the female in a mated pair, and the male seems fine. She is still eating and does not...

Has anyone else with a Fluval Evo had a problem with clownfish jumping out? I lost one last night, and this is the second time a clownfish has jumped out in the ~5 years I've had the tank. I guess I should cover the little opening in the front. Does anyone have good ideas for what to use to...

I thought my tank was finally ready to add fish, but I woke up this morning to find 4 dead fish. I don't know what I did wrong. I added 2 saddleback clownfish, 2 damselfish, 2 banggai cardinalfish, 2 blue leg hermit crabs, and a turbo snail to my tank last night after double checking the water...

Hej, It’s been a couple of days since i noticed one of my clowns resting on the bottom glass in the late afternoon, when its not noticed. That corner is where they sleep at night. The flow in my tank is quite strong, but so far looks like the clowns liked it, though sometimes they move to low...

Does anyone know what this is? It's moving around the tank so it's definitely alive

We had a tomato clown hosted by a bubble tip anemone. The tomato was very territorial over her anemone. Not letting her tankmate‘s get too close to the anemone, especially our small maroon clownfish!! The tomato seemed to get friendly recently with our (2) domino damselfish. Well, NOW...

Sorry if the photos aren’t the best but the little bugger won’t stay still! I took on this pair of clowns and the female keeps having really stringy poop but the male is completely fine. She is still eating and behaving normally so I just wondered the best way to treat her or whether to just...

So my clownfish was drip acclimated and bought from my LFS. He was doing good and all in the bag and during the drip. I had the light off when he was dripping and released into the tank. He was swimming “normal” with the light off. As soon as the light went on he retreated to the corner in the...

Hi so I’m new to the whole saltwater aquarium hobby and I’ve been enjorying it so far. Currently I’m trying to cycle my tank and I have dry rock with salt water and two small clownfish in a 30 gal. Here are the parameters: Salinity 1.023, Ammonia .7 ppm, Nitrite .25 ppm, Nitrate 10 ppm, Ph 7.9...

Hi I did QT-ed my clownfish for 28 days with 0.5 cupramine as instructed. Unfortunately , he has white spots (1 on each side of his gills) Its symmetrical and its possibly not ich? He was in the QT with 3 other fish (wrasse, chromis, fire goby) put in at the same time. Other 3 is completely...

Hello everyone, I got two clown fishes - one of them has some type of hole on the fin. I know of Ick but it does not seem like it. Any help would be appreciated.

Could I add a bonded pair of clownfish to a 30 gallon with a six line wrasse and a canary blenny? Would they all get along? If they do get along fine would that be overstocking? Thanks in advance!

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...

Hello Everyone, I need some help. I got a clownfish pair (non-bonded) from LFS and had to return the female as it was struggling to breathe even when the other one was okay. Now, the other one also is showing some strange behavior. He is mainly in one spot, a few inches above the substrate. I...

I have a pair or Da Vinci clownfish that I would like to get an RBTA host for. I saw on another tank site that said my Da Vinci clowns will only use magnificents and carpet anemones. Is this true?

I had a pair of bonded de vinci clownfish. Sadly my male has passed away and now the female is the only fish in the tank. I do not really plan on buying another fish for the tank but wanted to know if she will be okay on her own in the tank. Its a 30 gallon cube and the clown is the only fish in...

I have this Nicrew reef light I got off Amazon. Currently I have zoas, trumpets, a favia, clove polyps, GSP, a rainbow monti, and a leptastrea all are healthy and happy. Just wandering if this light it strong enough for a BTA.

I noticed today these orange babies with distinct black eyes and tail only 1.5 month old 29G reef tank. My tanks has a pair of clownfish, 4 snails, 4 crabs and 11 LPS corals frags. Requesting to check the attached image and tell if these are babies of any? If so, what should I do?

I'm starting this to share my aquarium experience. Feel free to share tips and tricks! Right now I have an unhappy anenome. We have found it very enjoyable to get injured/sick animals and critters and nurse them back to health. Right now it is this anenome with an unhappy foot. We did have...

Hi! After running various freshwater tanks through the years enjoying aquascaping and such, i decided i wanted to take on saltwater, and i thought it a good idea to join a forum more saltwater oriented for when i have questions and such to hopefully beable to gleam some of the wisdom others have...
