Hi everyone,
I’ve had this clownfish for about a week and it was doing fine at first, but a few days ago I lost another clownfish that showed the same behavior. I’m trying to figure out what’s going on and what I should do.
Current issue
The fish is staying near the surface and looks pale. It was eating normally before this.
Tank info
Tank age: 4 months
Volume: 15 gallons
Livestock
Xenia
GSP
Alveopora
Hammer coral
(Some corals were added about 2–3 weeks before the fish)
Water parameters
Ammonia NH3: 0
Nitrite NO2: 0.01
Nitrate NO3: 1–5 ppm
pH: 8–8.5
Alkalinity KH: 9.6
Calcium Ca: 390 ppm
Magnesium Mg: 1260 ppm
Salinity: 1.025
Temperature: 25°C
Additional info
I Increased surface agitation
Has anyone seen this before or have any idea what this could be?
Any advice would be appreciated.
