Hello there, I’ve just joined reef2reef.
This is my first saltwater tank that I have recently cycled, I have 2 Ocellaris Clownfish and a Royal Gramma.
I was wondering if anyone could help me please. About 3 days after I put the clowns in, I noticed the female keeps twitching its body and head round. I thought the worst but it’s been nearly 3 weeks after this and it still does the same thing. I can’t see any spots on any of the fish and they all eat well so not sure if it’s ich, but I have seen the Gramma flashing off the sand over this time also.
Today I’ve noticed the clown trying hard to swim down and swimming directly into the power head, makes me think swim bladder but again I’m not sure at all. For the last ten days or so I think I have noticed her gills are slightly red but I don’t know if I’m imagining things as this may be flukes?
If anybody has any ideas or can help me in anyway that is so appreciated, thank you so much!
