Do my clowns look healthy

[Graysoner9]

These little guys have been in my tank for about a week or two, the orange female and the soon to be black and white male. I’m wondering if they look healthy because I’m not a expert in saltwater quite yet

Sorry to see your fish in distress!

Maybe the R2R #fishmedic team can help out

Good luck!

No not really, I’ve just never kept them. They are super young, both probably under an inch. They are fading colors a little but acting normal. I saw people saying it could be disease or just because they are juveniles, but they seem to act all normal

It hard to tell from a picture. But at long at they eat and swimming normal they should be ok. How is your water at far at nitrite and ammonia go?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

If you post a clear video, I can tell a bit more based on their swimming and breathing.

I just made a new post, the male isn’t looking too good. He just looked super sick and got super aggressive, I think it might be a swimbladder issue because of the way he swimming he darted around super fast before pausing and just floating for a while and then repeating it and unfortunately, he ended up dying. He did not show any symptoms at all prior today.

Sorry - I was out sick yesterday. Swimbladder issues aren’t immediately lethal, so something else was causing the darting.
