clownfish

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...

4 year old clownfish suddenly stopped eating is in a tank with other clownfish was bought together 4 years ago. But has been a slow decline on the female and has not eaten and has also slowly moved less and less

Hey all, I have noticed that my premium snowflake ocellaris clownfish is quite a different color hue than my standard ocellaris clownfish. Is this something normal? I haven’t had this much of a color difference in clownfish pairs I’ve had before. I’ve had these two for about 7 months. Diet...

Hi, I hope you are having an amazing day! I've had this type of clownfish for the past 5 months and he's been all alone. Currently looking to give him a buddy Clownfish and was curious if it's best to get the same type or could I get a naked clownfish or the common normal orange Nemo. Wanting to...

I’m looking to buy around 10 clownfish. I specifically want designer clowns, I wouldn’t buy any basic clowns. Does anyone have any they bred for sale?

I have a 26g tank with a pair of clowns that have turned mean and nips at new fish that are timid. For example pajama cardinal and fire fish. These fish just stay there and let the clowns eat their fins. I wanna add one more fish that would take the other end of the tank cause my clowns only...

I thought it was fungus so it rested with maracyn oxy and it seemed to improve/ his overall energy level improved during treatment. I stopped treatment because ammonia in my tank spiked But the bump is back, and worse. Should I continue with maracyn? Or is there something better for fungus? IS...

What's been your experience with clownfish personalities? Does it vary much with the type? We have a frostbite and normal that attack the surface of the tank. The frostbite almost jumps out attacking food! 2 Phantoms that are the most docile fish I've seen. They hide from any splash and only...

Hi all, My tank is a 25 gallon NUVO Lagoon-style mixed reef tank. I largely have leather corals. I love the look of the various shades of pink and purple. GSP has been excellent as well. It has taken over two "islands" of rock on the right side of the tank. At present, I have two Clarkii...

Unfortunately my clowns did not get along . Rehoming this clown for 25 or trade for a coral frag. Very healthy eats pellets and flakes. Had for around 5 months. Located in 92582. Can meet within a 10-15mile radius

I know you can keep and pair black and orange clownfish and all their morphs together but I noticed ORA says in their description “Scientists have considered describing the Black Ocellaris as a new species, but for now they are still considered a variation of the A. ocellaris species.” Now I...

Hello all. I am pretty new to the hobby and have just started my first tank this year. I have had it up for about 27 days now, it is a 13.5 gallon. I did a fishless cycle and tested relatively often. I added two juvenile snowflake clowns (exactly a week ago) which are about 7 months old, and...

Hello, I found a really good deal on a bta but my tank has only been setup since early October 2023. My parameters have been pretty stable and in the ideal range this whole time and I’m not completely new to aquariums; I’ve had freshwater tanks before. The thing is that this is a nano tank...

Hello, I’m looking to stock my Fluval evo 13.5. I saw someone on here that stocked theirs with a pair of ocellaris, a yasha shrimp goby, and a six line wrasse. I’m suprised how many fish they have in the tank since I see most people saying the maximum would be a pair of clowns. Can I stock mine...

Howdy, so I added two clowns to my tank on Saturday. One is 100% fine though a bit of a bully The other has more or less been in this spot, I’ve posted this a couple places and most people have told me it’s normal behavior BUT, his gill In the video you can see his left gill is clearly...

Hello, I’m looking to add fish into my Fluval evo 13.5 gallon. I’m 100% set on clownfish but I’m unsure if the tank would be too small for what I want. My favorite pick would be a maroon clownfish; can I have a single maroon clownfish in this tank or should I stick to one or two ocellaris?

Evo 13.5 Mixed Reef - My first saltwater experience Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and wanted to share my first saltwater aquarium. I will try to make this detailed so other beginners can follow along on the journey. The first 5 photos are of the aquarium as it stands in Feb 2024...

I've noticed the past week my clowns has been breathing fast, they are eating fine but I don't know what can be causing this. I checked my parameters which are good and did a 20% water change yesterday. Any insight would be great.
