What fish to add??

Probably worth a shot - so long as you don't scare him into his tube!

What about target feeding with a dropper once a week or so?

Well I have all of my fish, even the bristle worms, trained. I turn of the filter every time I feed. When the filter goes off the fish come to the front and the bristle worm come out to eat. Hoping feather duster will learn the drill as well. I'll make sure to not touch the crown. I will be using a good size pipet so I don't have to get my hand too close. Fingers crossed.

Well mine moved around a little and wedged himself between two rocks....laying down. He opens and closes so I'm hoping he will decide to stand up one day. Lol.

Oh I also picked up a fake anemone thinking maybe my clown would host there. Nope she won't go near it. Not even at feeding time. Lol. At least it doesn't look to bad.

Well clown fish finally decided that the fake anemone wasn't going to eat her and she's hanging out in and around it a lot. Can't wait until she's bigger so I can get her a friend to hang out with.

Woke up this morning and my clown fish is acting strange. Like she's struggling to swim. She's hanging at the top in the corner. Didn't eat when I fed her. She was fine last night. Acting normal and eating. Fingers crossed that she's just being weird. :(

Of course she's acting normal now. Ugh. Lol

Clownfish don't really care about acting like fish, they just do whatever they please. Also it may have just been sleeping there.

She is spoiled. Won't touch the frozen brine shrimp with spirulina. I have to go get the nutramar ova that I feed my mandarin. My clown loves it and so does my mandarin.

Is it normal for a clown to change colors anlittle as they grow. I have a baby and I noticed that her fins are getting darker and so are her orange stripes. I know silly question but I just want to make sure nothing bad is going on.

Very normal - especially darkening.

Perculas, in particular. The black trim that surrounds those white bands becomes thicker, sometimes to the point of obscuring much of the orange on their bodies.
