    Clowns fighting after one started hosting nem

    Hi! I've had a pair of frostbite clowns for a few months that came with a significant enough size difference that one would clearly be dominate.

    Clownfish Killed Mate

    Hi there! Over this passed week, my larger clownfish, Amphitrite, has been picking on my smaller clownfish, Poseidon. Because of this, Poseidon started to hide within the coral and in a little cave in the tank. I kept an eye on him to make sure he wasn’t getting too beat up and researched a bit...

    Clownfish paired with a not Clownfish?

    Has anyone ever heard of a Clownfish pairing with something that isn’t a Clownfish at all? Backstory: I had 2 paired clownfish and at some point I bought a single Green Chromis. During the day the pair of clowns and the Chromis would do their own thing, but at night the 3 would rest side by...

She was in my first saltwater tank (40 gallons) then we moved her to a 75 gallon with a yellow tang and some chromis. Then we got her to host her first green bta...

    Clownfish Pairing

    So in my previous post I had trouble pairing my WW and vivid ocellalris. Probably an hour after my post my WW started fighting the vivid super aggressively and he would not stop. I took the vivid out and transferred it to my friends fish tank so that it could heal and unfortunately it succumbed...

    Clownfish behavior

    I have had my vivid ocellaris in the tank for a bit over a week but I decided it was time for a friend so I got myself a wyoming white ocellaris but I can’t tell what their behavior is like. The wyoming white will follow the vivid all over the tank and slaps his tail against her and sometimes...
