Hello I have 2 yr old clownfishes which I have seen changes in behaviour. They are not keen in eating but will come up to say they are hungry and today just realised rather fast breathing I will attach a video of them both I hope I can get advice so can figure out what to do next.
They don’t have signs of rotting in their fins or tails or mouth

Dont see videos in which you tube version is best using bright white light intensity.
Do you see heavy breathing and even loss of color?

Is there any surface agitation or gas exchange going on in that tank? Is that just a quarantine tank? What are your parameters? Water seems cloudy and murky.

Yes there is bubbler and filter in the back, have had to keep it slightly cloudy as due to the mirror style of the fish tank the fish kept attacking their reflection. The tank was half changed 2 days ago

Those clowns are beautiful, it's a shame there are in such a sad looking environment.

How long have you had them? Like @Jekyl asked, is it a QT or is that the only tank you have for them?
 

DO YOU USE A PAR METER WHEN PLACING NEW CORAL IN YOUR TANK?

  • Yes! I think it's important for the longterm health/growth of my coral.

  • Yes, but I don't find that it is necessary all the time.

  • Not currently, but I would like to.

  • No. I don't measure PAR and my corals are still healthy/growing.

  • Other (please explain).
