So I have 2 clownfish. They both seem to be normal, no odd behavior. However, I have noticed that they seem to have transparent fins. Im not talking about around the edges, i mean the whole fin seems a bit transparent. I can see their body when their fins are by their side. Is this normal?

Can you provide some pics or a video using white lighting?

I don't see anything to be concerned about. Loss of appetite, heavy breathing or something on their skin are the things to watch for.

Just babies that haven't fully colored up yet it looks like :)! If they're acting normal (for clowns) and eating I wouldn't worry at all.
