clown fish help

[Aldo Garcia]

Hello all,
I have 4 ocellaris clowns, They were paired at one point. i originally had them in a 40 breeder but after adding a rtba, 2 hosted. 3 started to gang up on one of the females. so i took one of the pairs out and put them in a 10g. so the female that was getting beat on has been swimming upside down for like a week.

is there anything i can do i try to feed them and she does eat a little just worried a little.

Thanks in Advance

any chance you can post a video or pics? swimming head down or flipped over?

More than one pair in a normal size tank usually becomes a problem as they mature, unless you are doing a harem w/ juvies from same clutch, and even then there is often some pecking off

She's really beat up, I'm sure her stress levels are through the roof. i would keep her in a qt tank for the time being but she's definitely not looking good

best of luck

Agreed looks pretty bad bullying, possibly swim bladder and/or spinal injuries. Definitely keep isolated in QT, add some vitamins, watch for signs of infection. Good luck!
