    EMERGENCY Clown Fish Fighting

    I’ve had my Clowns for almost two months now (one was always slightly bigger than the other) and this week I’ve noticed they have been fighting. The smaller one is really trying to start fights with the bigger one, causing the bigger one to have twitches orshivers when it swims. I’ve also...

    Removing excess food

    So I just fed my 2 clown fish today (10g tank) and usually after feeding I try to remove (with my hands because I don’t have bottom feeders or a net) the left over fish food. However, looking at the tank right now there are 2-3 pellets I missed from previous feedings and 4-7 visible sized pieces...

It came with 2 bonded clowns, 3 damsels, pajama cardinal, anemone (of which I’m not sure the species; I think a sebae?), and a...

    Pairing ocellaris

    So in the beginning I tried adding a flurry with a Davinci B. The flurry ended up killing my Davinci and so it has stayed alone since then. I want to try pairing again and was looking at getting a Wyoming since they are closer in coloration. I also bought a breeder box to throw the Wyoming in so...

    Black Ich???

    Hi, I recently added a couple chromis to my nano tank and they sadly passed away very quickly. I cant imagine it was due to water quality or acclimation. Took a picture of one of the chromis and seemed to have black spots on the face. No idea where this disease could have come from. My clownfish...

My clown fish have always been like a cute little couple, I’ve never seen them fight and one is...
