This is my first saltwater tank so I'm still learning clownfish behavior, I have two perc clowns (about 1.25 -1.5in) LaFawnda (bigger one) and Kip (smaller)
LaFawnda likes to hangout at the front left top of my tank for 80-90% and the other 10% she rides the current from the wave maker or will...
Hi all,
This morning before I went to work I decided to look at my clowns and I noticed this redness on them, I just have a video of the one but it looks like the other clown also has the same thing in the same spot, I never noticed it before, is this something to be concerned about?
I have a poorly clown fish and poorly mandarin. We are suspecting fin rot, can anyone confirm? Both are very lathergic, Clown is still eating, mandarin not really moving. Both seem to be struggling to breathe, laying on the bottom on the tank appearing lifeless :( Not managed to get a good photo...

Hi Guys
I was just about to do my weekly water change and noticed what looks like eggs attached to my rock next to where my clownfish are hosting a BTA.
Are these eggs? They have never laid eggs before. If they are eggs what should I do with them?
Hi group,
After much research and reading I’m 99% convinced my Picasso Clown has Swim Bladder Disease. He was in a tank with parameters of
no3 10
po4 0.07
Salinity 1.024
Temp 76.0 F
With another Picasso, 6th line Wrasse, YWG, and a CB Shrimp.
All others are doing well.
however, my clown...
$150 obo. Came with me as a pair when I purchased the tank 9 months ago. Pick up only in Northern Dallas, TX. Nem has passed and making changes. Eats everything, even scallop from my hands.
Hey guys, I got this clown a little over a week ago. Mind you I already had a clown in my waterbox 20 (smaller than the Wyoming) I brought it home and acclimated and put it in the tank. It was pretty happy, initially when I introduced them they immediately swam to each other swimming happily and...
I had just recently or maybe not as recent, I got this clown about a week and a half ago. A little backstory, originally when I got the tank, I had two clowns paired, and one bullied the other one to jump out the tank and die. So I got a black occelaris and put them in with one of the original...
Welcome to my build thread!
About me:
Reef Keeping and the Reef2Reef forums are new to me, and I am building a 45 gallon shallow reef in the next few months. Watch out for this thread as I slowly yet surely bring this Canadian Reef to life!
Months ago, I watched a couple of videos on Youtube...
So around a year ago I saw some awesome clownfish videos where the clowns were bouncing around in anemones and even Euphyllia.
Those videos were a pretty big motivator for me to want my own clowns. Those bright orange fish bouncing up and down in the beautiful flowing corals or anemone was...
Hi all,
About a month and a half ago I purchased a Mocha Storm Clownfish “pair” from my job and ever since then the female has never came around to actually pair up with him. She commonly chases him away, charges and “bites” at his sides, they never sleep together and she overall doesn’t...
Hi all,
I got this clownfish from PetCo (5 days ago). My other clownfish (not from PetCo) seems fine.
The tank has 3 ppm Nitrate, 0 nitrite, 0 ammonia. Salinity is 1.025 sg. pH is 7.9.
This was the clownfish yesterday
This is it today
The fish eats and swims normally. I gave it a...
My little zombie clown was sucked up against the wave maker (little Hydor Koralia nano) and he has a bit of white “bruising” on his body now. Any idea if he will be okay? He’s swimming just fine and seems to be healthy. Just don’t want to leave him in the tank if this could case him to develop...
I have a pair of clowns that have been hiding a lot more recently. I have double checked triple checked for signs of disease but see nothing. They have a good appetite and come out when I approach the tank. One hides in the back and another between the rock structure. I noticed that maybe both...
I have a pair of maroon clowns (took me almost 3 months to get them to pair!) that are currently in a 25g tank with a couple of BTA.
We just purchased them an upgraded tank so hopefully soon they will be moving into a 50g innovative marine lagoon. Still a lot of work before the tank is up and...
I just got my first saltwater tank up and running... It's a 210 gallon tank and I have 4 black ocellaris clownfish that I have been using to start my cycle on the tank. I added them on 10/22/2023 and now on 10/31/2023 I noticed that only one of my clownfish has these white "spots" and from a...
Hi, after lot of wasted time, effort, and money to try to get a female for my Milii Clownfish, i decided to sell it and his Carpet Nem. Not sure what kind of carpet it is but had for a month and half now, previous owner had it for 15 years. It looks to be about a foot in diameter. The Milii...
Please help today I’ve noticed white patches on my black clownfish and I can’t seem to find what it is. I’ve seen a lot of ich pictures and they seem really small but these patches seem bigger. This clownfish always got bullied by the big orange clown and couple smaller orange clowns. Please let...
Hi all- I have decided to sell my pair of wild caught hybrid maroon clowns and their ~14" carpet anemone. These fish have been doing really well the last few months, but I have my eye on some rather rare finds. I'm based on Long Island.
You can view pictures of the fish and the nem in this...
Hello, I have two clownfish and both of them have started to act weird, one more than the other. One clownfish first started acting lethargic and not eating 2-3 days ago, it just hovers at the bottom corner of my tank. There was some stringy white poop coming out of it when I checked on it...
Hey. I was wondering if it is posible to house 2 clownfish in a 10 gallon temporary. I am getting a small 10 gallon frag tank, and I’m thinking of re scaping the tank, and I don’t want to risk anything. Is it possible to house them in this tank for a month while the main tank cycles back to...
