Hello all, I’m new at Reef2Reef I have some questions for you all I’m an experienced FRESHWATER only hobbyist I been doing them for a long time, I have multiple tanks but I decided to “jump” to saltwater I’ll start small and then get very big down the line in 3 years after getting really...
We have a 7+ year old ocellaris clown fish that had its left side fin clamped to its body on Sunday morning. Late in the morning he was using it and it appeared with a little white sloughed mucus like or shedding with a slight tear. During this time he was eating and swimming normally. Monday...
I have a pair of clownfish, with one being bigger than the other, I do see the smaller one having nipped fins from time to time but its nothing extreme. I did see that my lfs will have a pistol/yasha goby pair in stock but not sure if its a good idea to keep them in the same tank, its a 20G AIO...
I have a 26G Red Sea Max Nano Peninsula. I’ve had two clowns in there for a month and the tank was up for 3 weeks before they were added.
Will the following fish be a good fit together in the tank, with the clowns:
Yellow Watchman Goby
Molly Miller Blenny
Possum Wrasse
I’d like to get the...
Hello fellow reefers. I was wondering if you can help me ID what is on my clownfish? He recently started hosted my gonipora and I thought it was just debris but I think it is something more than that? He seems to be eating and acting normal. Thanks for your help!
I have a 26G tank with a pair of Flurry clowns and no other fish.
I’d love to get a Possum Wrasse but I am hoping you all can advise me as to whether this is a good idea.
Hi,
My formee clownfish didn’t make due to brook, it was in my displaytank without any other fish or inverts.
I’m trying again and setup two Qt tanks and want to try the hybrid ttm for the new fish as my display tank will have to be clean of fish at least 60 or 72 days this is also true for...
Hi started out with the hobby so new to the saltwater got a 120 liter (30gallon) tank with life sand and used life rock. After cycling (use seachem prime and stability) i bought two clown fish a week ago. They are the only fish in the tank no corals. They are great and full alive although i do...
About a week ago I had a fish die out of the blue. This fish was never being super successful in the tank since I got him. Maybe a month before his death. I didn't notice any specific reason to his death. But decided to keep a close eye on the rest of my fish.
This morning I have a clown fish...
Hi! I have a 40g community tank with lps and soft coral. I have about 45 lbs of live rock. I have: 1 pajama cardinal, 2 clownfish, 1 diamond goby, 1 purple fire fish, and 1 citron goby (the bully). For inverts I have about 10 hermits and 15 snails, a skunk cleaner, a fire shrimp, 2 peppermint...
I added two clowns to my third marine tank. They are the first guys in. He had this spot come up in his eye and it seems to be getting bigger. Any idea what it could be? I don’t think uronemia which I had before on some fish. The white horizontal line is gone but the spot is causing his eye to...
My clownfish keeps hanging in this corner of the tank and recently has started laying motionless, I’ve had him for 6 months and he had brook about a month and a half ago but I assumed it was cured after treating him. However, everytime I do something as little as open the lid without dropping...
Why does the chromis keep hanging around my clownfish like this? The clown obviously doesn't want him there and charges at him, but I've also seen the chromis bite back, no matter where the clown goes the chromis continues to hover around him. Is there some way to stop this? Let it run its...
Not sure if this is the right place to post but figured I’d give it a shot. I’m moving from Florida to Colorado I sold most all the of my live stock but I kept my 2 clowns and a few snails. I intend to ship them overnight with ups the day before I hop on my flight, but apart from that I have no...
My clown fish has been really going after the smaller clown, doing the whole mating dance, shaking a lot. But recently she started breathing really heavy. Wondering if she’s just tired out from all her love moves or if something could be wrong.
So, I've been in the process of restocking my nano (13.5 gallon) with fish, and I found this absolutely stunning long fin black ice clown that I bought on the spot, alone. After some conversations via another thread, many people suggested she (it's too young/small to be a she yet, but it was...
Hi guys!
Today I noticed these tiny white spots on my clownfish, is kind of weird cause it only looks like that under blue light, just wondering if you could give me some advice on him (I am new in this hobby just started this year), he is swimming normally and not acting weird at all.
I do...
I set up my tank a week ago and I followed the BRS guide and bought a clown as well as Dr. Tim’s One and Only Nitrifying Bacteria and put both in the tank. I’ve been checking every other day for the levels using the API Saltwater Master Test Kit and those same levels are practically stagnant. I...
My wife has has a Red Sea Nano up and running for a few months now with a pair of Black Storm clowns from TSM. They were doing wonderfully - fat and happy and always active.
Saturday afternoon we stopped at TSM and picked her up a Panama Cardinal and a banded throchus. Acclimated the fish and...
I know it’s not recommended. But I have an reg ocellaris and a Divinci clown right now. I was wondering if I can add a black storm as a third? Maybe if the black storm was bigger than the two of them it would be alright? Has anyone done a third?
Whatsup fellas….so when adding fish, i know the net disturbs the slime cost on the fish. Is StressCoat by API a good product? And if so is their dose valid? I ask because it’s A slimy product and I don’t know will that mess up the water composition? And also how long does the actual product...
Hi all,
When will I know its time to give up on trying to get my clowns (Oscellaris, captive bred) to pair? About 6 weeks ago I got a pair of what seem like grown clownfish from an LFS. They came from a tank of 20+ identical clowns and I don't think they are juveniles, seem pretty well grown...
