Hi, I got a pair of clownfish from my LFS about 2 weeks ago and both seemed healthy. They spent some time in an acclimation box in my main tank and then went into their own tank 9 days ago. I've been feeding them pretty regularly and all seemed well, but the last time I saw the little one eat was three days ago. Also, he is breathing pretty quickly (opening and closing his mouth quickly) and not swimming like most clowns do (he's only using his pectoral fins). What should I do? The other fish is perfectly fine, so I seriously doubt it's something in the water (parameter wise).
some additional notes:
- no aggression between the two
- tank is quite new (only 2-3 weeks)
- other fish is fine
*I might try putting them back in the acclimation box in my other, more established tank and see if that fixes things
