New clownfish acting weird

tldragoon · May 4, 2021

So I just got 2 Clownfish 3 days ago. 1 is very active and swimming all over, the second is just barely swimming and staying on the sand. It doesn't look bad, but I'm not really sure what to look for, maybe a little off color... Parameters are pH 8.0, Ammonia 0.0,Nitrite 0.0, Nitrate 0-5, temp stays between 77-79 and the salinity is 1.029. Posting a pic. Thanks for and help in advance.

your salinity is too high.

I’m no expert by any means, but 1.029 seems high. Maybe someone can offer some insight.

Ah ok makes more sense. Hopefully someone with more expertise will weigh in but I think there might be a better forum specific to fish diseases that you may also want to post this in.
