I just took the top off and it swam away pretty fast, and it usually eats. There is only one other fish in the tank and it’s another gladiator clownfishIs it in that position all the time? Is it eating? Does it look healthy? Other fish that might be bullying it?
Sometimes clowns are shy like that and will hang out in a corner. As long as it has the strength to swim away from the suction and is eating I wouldn’t worry too much
My parameters are all good, but I don’t know my ammonia levels bc I don’t have the test kit for it. My nitrates are at 1, and my phosphate is at .04What are your parameters?
Ok thanks! He seems to be doing better todayGive it time, maybe he’ll come out. I wouldn’t worry!
He seems to only be doing this at night when the lights are dim, and. Seems to be doing a lot better today. I’m going to get my ammonia tested later today, and I’m new to the hobby, and I’m going as fast as my lfs recommendSounds like you're moving a bit faster than recommended. I'd get the ammonia tested.
I highly recommend a Seachem Ammonia badge. Amazon for 7 or 8 bucks and they're good for a year. If your ammonia is high, fish tend to stay higher in the water.
While I do agree that clowns are weird, it's best to eliminate ammonia as a cause of the weirdness.
