Hi all, I've got a clown pair and for some reason my majestic and flame angels both have it in for them. They are in a 240 now but the clowns lived with the majestic for years in a previous 300. The majestic was always a bit of a bully but the clowns made their home in a big clump of bryopsis on...
I have two juvenile clownfish, about 3–5 cm in size. One of them seems to be suffering from an internal parasite. For the past three days, I've been trying to feed it medicated food (MetroPlex + Focus + Garlic Guard), but the fish refuses to eat it.
I've tried a variety of food types frozen...
My clownfish have recently started spawning and the eggs hatch about 8 days in I get a few hundred but the majority of fry are tiny almost 4 times smaller than the big ones which if I’m lucky I get 10 but the rest are small fry. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or has a solution...
I have a medium-sized Saddleback Clownfish who’s been living in my large sump for the past few months after taking down his main tank. I can’t move him into my display tanks due to two aggressive pairs of tomato and maroon clownfish. He’s healthy and went through extensive quarantine a few years...
Hi all! My female clown is breathing heavy and mostly just hanging around at the bottom of my tank. Did a freshwater dip, and I believe some flukes came out. I thought she'd perk back up after that, but an hour later and she's still exhibiting the same behavior. Is there anything else I can do...
Hey everyone,
I’m planning to start a small reef tank (around 15 gallons) and want to eventually try breeding clownfish. I’m wondering — if I just buy 2 clownfish, will they eventually pair up and breed on their own?
I’ve heard that one becomes female and the other stays male, but I’m not sure...
hi guys, my 6month old female clown has this weird patch on her that i noticed yesterday. shes acting and eating normally, no new tank mates for at least 3 months and water params are good. shes in a 15g nano with her bonded male clown some cuc and mixed corals. i cant seem to figure out what...
Okay reef team, I’ve got a damsel aggression issue but I’m not willing to give up on my cute little yellow tail just yet!
Which totally sucks because I was just celebrating how great the tank has been and then this week happened.
She was the first fish in the tank. Probably my first mistake...
Good afternoon,
Thank you again for your help in advance!
Yesterday I did a test on the water and the readings were:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Salinity 1.024
Nitrate 10-20
PH 7.8 (I can dose this up but should I, if I am not too worried about corals, just fish and Inverts other than GSP)
Temp 78
I...
Hello everyone,
I have a question, that I hope I can find some assistance with on here. I included some photos below, or my female clownfish. I will say this is now the 3rd time she’s exhibited this behavior and it’s quite strange to me, but she basically will stop eating, abandon the male...
Just wanted to give a shoutout to all the reef-keeping dads out there. Whether your "kids" are two-legged or have fins, gills, and a tendency to knock over your aquascape at 3 a.m.
To the fish dads who:
Lovingly turkey baste uneaten food like it’s a gourmet cleanup…

backstory, i had a few moments to spare yesterday and watched my two clowns for a bit to relax. noticed one was shaking so strange like a seizure, and it was my larger one. i PANICKED i truly thought she was dying but then 10 minutes later i saw my male do the exact same thing and many times...
My mochavinci clownfish has decided to be a bully to my pearly jawfish, so I’m looking for a new home for him. I also have a blue springeri damsel (not a blue devil damsel). If you’ve kept saltwater fish before and have an aquarium already up and running that would be a good home for these...
My tank is about 2 months old & cycled - no ammonia, very low nitrites, and some nitrates, parameters are healthy & stable.
I got 2 black storm clowns from my LFS last month. I originally only got one of them, but went back for the second the next morning - I hadn't really taken a look at it...
Hello reefers,
I got two designer clownfish on Saturday. They wont eat yet and ive tried Vitalis pellets and frozen mysis shrimp. Last night when I was watching them after lights went off, I saw a red patch looking thing near the tail end of its body? Should I be worried or is it just a normal...
Hi,
I’ve decided to take down my 9g. I was raising a juvenile pair of snowflake? clownfish. They are just now becoming sexed and are a nice pair. Little bit of nipping a while ago but things have evened out. No known diseases, pesticides, or illnesses.
I’m open to a trade. I’m looking for...
First time posting. Like everyone else, I'm trying to get my clownfish to host my BTA anemone. This is my first attempt to coax them to the nem, and I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this. I have a breeder box that I've only used once before to isolate my female from the male (hurt...
Hello, ive had a pair of clownfish for about two months. Since day 1 they have been eating and acting totally normal. But today i noticed a small white spot/patch on its side. They are both still acting normal, no labored breathing or other weird behaviors. Is this something I should be worried...

Some pairs I’m after:

hi! I recently set up my first salt water fish tank- 20 gallons. I started with 2 clownfish in mid February. They have been doing great. 2 weeks ago I added a watchman goby and all was good. But yesterday I started noticing some funny behavior from one of the clowns- he was resting on the sand...
I have a wild caught percula clownfish in my QT tank currently being treated with Metroplex and PraziPro. The fish has been in QT for 4 days, and just this morning I noticed a site on its side. The fish will not accept any food that I add. Any help is appreciated.
So I started small at first in a 13 gallon. Then I moved up to a 32 gallon and now here I am in a 60 gallon. I’ve already set it up and had it going for a few months. Everything was transferred over (probably to quickly. I’m impatient.). Here are the picture of my tank.
So I have a 220g tank and a 15g tank with 2 different pairs of clowns. A traditional orange pair in the 220g and a pair of black and white in the 15g. The 15g started leaking and I moved the black and white pair to my 10g hospital tank for now but was wondering if I could put them in the 220g...
