clown fish

Hello, I have a question regarding trying to add clown fish for my female clown. I had a pair of clownfish for 20 years. The male died about 6 months ago. I am wondering about getting another clownfish for the lone female. Could adding a clown work and would she be happier with a companion? She...

I have had the clownfish for about a year but im not sure what type they are can anyone help me out?

I hope i’m posting in the right area. This was my clown. 1st pic was him Sunday (June 22). Second pic was him Tuesday (June 24) and tuesday night, he died. I didnt think anything of the white stuff on him because i’ve had him about two years and before this, he’s had spots like that and they’ve...

I noticed these today… are they clownfish eggs or possible algae (like bubble)

My 2 ocellaris clowns introduced to a new tank at the same time about 3 months ago. Larger one is all the sudden being extremely aggressive. I know this aggression is super normal but at what point do I intervene and remove the aggressor. This has been going on for about a week now and...

Hello! I could use some tips and tricks as I am new to running Saltwater tanks! (Gosh the pictures are blue compared to how it looks in real life haha. I am running the stock Fluval Evo 5 and have the tank cycled where I added Dr Tims ammonia to 2PPM and it went down to 0.25 Ammonia (sat there...

a few moths ago i got this aquarium from a family friend, its extremely basic only having a simple filter, in the meantime i got a skimmer and replaced the water several times in the hopes that it would help the clownfish but its behaviour has not changed, i doubt its like a contagious infection...

Just thought I’d share my progress pics :smiling-face: Been having so much fun. Have had some rough patches for sure but overall it’s been epic 🪸

The bumps are fairly large and round, and they are only on the clownfish’s fin, and not on the other clown. Background info: this is a fairly stable tank, it’s about a year old now and the last addition of fish was over 8 months ago. I added a skunk cleaner a month ago, and I did a waterchange...

Hi 👋 Completely new here and new to fish! I have a standard Fluval Sea 13.5g with no modifications (yet!) Bought this “rock” from my LFS which had been in their sump for 4/5months. With Caribsea Fuji pink live sand. All I’ve got in there at the moment are some tiny shrimp-type creatures and a...

I am new to saltwater aquariums and have had this 55gal tank for about 3 months. I have 2 clowns, a sharknose goby, a lemon damsel, a shrimp, and a tuxedo urchin, plus about 15-20 hermit crabs. I regularly test the water and just received a phosphate test. The phosphates are a bit high (adding...

30 gal money pit but i love my money pit currently building a 30gal reef with inverts, clowns, some extra residents, and lots and lots of coral. i dub myself the crazy coral lady, i honestly think i love them more than fish. right now it's not much, i only got the tank up and running about 3...

Hey everyone! I’m new to the saltwater side of the hobby and wanted to share my journey so far—plus get some advice and reassurance from the pros here on Reef2Reef! I’ve been keeping freshwater tanks for a while, but about 3 weeks ago, I finally took the plunge into saltwater and set up my...

My little nano tank is thriving. I've moved home and no issues whatsoever. I must admit I'm a little concerned about my birds nest acro but I don't know if she is just being a little stubborn. What do you think? Any recommendations on placement. It's been 3 days so I think they're happy.

Hey I’m brand new to this hobby and this website. I got a 20 gal tank two weeks ago and as of now it’s looking pretty much fully cycled. Every aspect of my water is looking perfect like salinity my nitrates and nitrites and my ammonia. I’m getting two clowns today and I need more advise to...

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread. My tank is 30 gallon, 1 month old, and I have a problem with ammonia and rotten odor, mostly coming from the rocks. The clownfish are breathing quickly and heavily. The smaller one is now pretty lethargic. Parameters now: Salinity 1.021 Temp 25c NH3 0,05...

Hello! I'm very new to aquarium set up and maintenance but I'm looking to get a small SW tank going within the next couples weeks/months. Here is some general information about the space and anticipated tank needs, I would love any feedback you guys can provide! This is NOT a personal tank...

Hello I’ve got a few fish available that I’m looking to rehome to someone who’ll appreciate them as much as I do. These guys have been in my tank for over 4 years, they’re healthy, happy, and I just want to make sure they go to a good place! Here’s what I have: Gemmatum Tang (5 - 6 inches)...

Hi New to the hobby , I've got a 100 litre set up with few baby clowns and a zoa and I'm really struggling setting my light up , I've tried a few profiles from this forum and they are all overly blue. I'm more after a 24 hour day/night cycle that has more a natural look not overly blue etc...

Not sure if this is the right thread, but how early can you tell if clownfish are longfins, and is that what some of these are or do they grow into the long whispy fins that they have; they're 19 days old, neither parent is longfin, and both are Darwin clowns if that matters. This is the best...

This clownfish was so beautiful that i just had to buy it (LFS only had 1, else i would have bought a pair). but i'm not really sure what type of clown it is. I think it's an Amphiprion clarkii or an Amphiprion chrysopterus, but i'm not really sure on either of them. When i search on the...

Hey everyone the name is Jerry. I’m from southern California. I have a son with autism that loves going to our LFS, like most youngsters Finding Nemo sparked his interest, so I’m diving into the hobby! I have a some experience with similar size tanks in freshwater but this is my first dip into...
