nipping

Have a pair of storm clownfish one black the other orange and the black one is a tad bit on the bigger side. Since day one they have always been by each other’s side showing no ounce of aggression. Just recently I’ve noticed the orange clown with a nipped causal fin. After some observation at...

My wife recently picked up this beautiful clown. Not sure what kind he is but his pattern is quite unique. He was sold as a “premium” clown from Petco at one of their magnet stores meaning they get all the good stuff. Their tanks are pretty immaculate and they even have saltwater specialists...
