clownfish

Hi all I took a pair of breeding storm clowns from My lfs about 1.5 years ago. They were laying regularly at the lfs. Moved them to their own 75l tank and they stopped laying. I have seen them lay eggs a couple Of weeks ago but the female ate them by midday the next day. This is the second time...

I've kept BTAs in the past but always started with a large size. I am now wanting to try a higher-end BTA but it's only 1". Have you guys noticed any difference in keeping them alive compared to something 4" when starting out? I have a pair of clownfish (currently hosted by pulsing xenia without...

I bought 2 clownfish at my lfs Thursday and they were both fine swimming normally and eating at the fish store. When I got them home I drip acclimated(not for sure if that was a mistake) them. The one in question has been just wanting to stay in one spot then he started swimming very badly. The...

Any experience with tilting at bottom tank? Our little clown swims in spot a lot and keeps tilting over? He is only with us two full days now. The first day was a little rough, we did the fish in cycle with Fritz turbo 900 & stress guard, with a hour acclimation (last time in-cycle!). We did a...

So we pulled the trigger on a young mocha storm clown, he was very active in the bag.. we slowly acclimated (1hr) him to a 10g new quarantine tank. We dosed it was stress guard and Fritz turbo start and used imaginatrium boxed saltwater and a heater, plus hob filter. Probly put him in about...

My clownfish has a lump on the side. Not sure what it is. It's been getting proper meals, good water quality and good parameters. I got this clownfish 2 weeks ago and noticed the lump, I tried Google but no anwers. I'm just not sure what it could be or how to treat it, if needed.

Hi All - Long time lurker, first time poster on R2R. I have a pair of clowns, one of them died. I am not sure if its Brook, or Velvet. I am attaching photos. going to throw the rest of the tank in QT, but don't know if I should take the Copper route if its Brook. Please help!!

Hi All, I think I'm going to be tearing down my tank, so I have a singular black storm clownfish available. $100, located 92223. Pickup/Meetup only. I don't have the equipment to ship lol.

Have a pair of storm clownfish one black the other orange and the black one is a tad bit on the bigger side. Since day one they have always been by each other’s side showing no ounce of aggression. Just recently I’ve noticed the orange clown with a nipped causal fin. After some observation at...

Hello, I have a Fluval Evo 13.5 stocked with a pair of clownfish that are about 3 inches each. My clean up crew consists of a tuxedo urchin and 3 blue legged hermit crabs. This tank also has lps and soft coral and a BTA. I’m looking to add a third fish like a blenny or a goby. I have a decent...

Hi! I've had a pair of frostbite clowns for a few months that came with a significant enough size difference that one would clearly be dominate. The larger one was at least 1.5x the size of the smaller and still is. They're both still juvenile I think. They had slept together and stayed in one...

Hello, I just bought a pair of ocellaris that are about 3 inches. I have them in a Fluval Evo 13.5 and I’ve been feeding them prime reef flakes until they get full, twice a day. Am I over feeding? I am assuming that the fish is full when it eats a flake and spits it out. The male doesn’t eat...

Bought our first two clownfish at Petco (never again) 1.5 wks ago. Our tank is in its early stages of cycling up (IM SR80 AIO). Fish have been swimming and eating well. After a few days, we noticed what looked like a couple of white spots on each of the clowns. They still seemed to be behaving...

Hello, I juts bought a pair of clownfish yesterday from my LFS. They’re doing fine and ate a bit on day 1. I have a bta in this tank and I’ve had it for a little more than a month. It’s not being hosted yet but I just found out that if clownfish are too big for the anemone they can actually kill...

Hello, I just bought a pair of clownfish today from my LFS. I got them home in about an hour and floated for 20 min then drip acclimated for 30 min. I have a bta but it hasn’t been hosted. They seemed pretty much fine but now I’m noticing that the larger female is attacking the smaller male...

I just noticed these small white spots on my baby maroon clownfish today. They don’t quite look like ich (cryptocaryon irritans) but I do want some outside opinions. I’ve had her in the tank for at least 2-3 months and she’s been doing great, she lives with a small CUC (hermit, emerald, cerith...

Thanks for you advice on my skinny clown! I've added pellets to its diet and it seems to slowly be gaining weight. I did notice today that it has a very small dimple on the side of it's head, which I've tried to capture in this photo. I'm reading it could be normal, but I wanted to know what...

Hello! I’m super excited to show off my 108 gallon fiji cube tank as it grows! It has been up and running for roughly 6 months now and currently houses 2 clowns (1 black ice and 1 regular ocellaris) from my LFS, tons of live rock (not sure on the exact number of lbs. I ended up actually using...

This is my wife and I’s first foray into salwater. Our tank has cycled and got a pair of clowns. One of the little guys had been isolated from others since they were being aggressive and even nipped his caudal fin. The store associate ended up giving him to us for free as a pair to another...

My wife recently picked up this beautiful clown. Not sure what kind he is but his pattern is quite unique. He was sold as a “premium” clown from Petco at one of their magnet stores meaning they get all the good stuff. Their tanks are pretty immaculate and they even have saltwater specialists...

Well, my beloved pair of blackstorm clowns have suddenly decided they wanna bite and yank my hammers. Particularly the female. She just killed my new 150 buck hologram hammer in 2 days by biting it so much. I didnt know it was her messing with it. I thought it was just adjusting so it didn’t...

Hi there! Just curious, I introduced a smaller clown into my tank today, and the larger one (original) kinda curves itself and shakes towards the smaller one. They did a little chasing but now they are in the corner together. Is the bigger one showing dominance or what does this “mean” I...
