Thread: Clownfish Acting Strange

    Default Clownfish Acting Strange

    Just got a percula clownfish three days ago and he is swimming at the top of the tank in a corner by the overflow. He doesnt eat just swims in place. Is this normal for a new clown? When should I be concerned and take the fish back to the LFS? I have a 45gallon aquarium and all paremteres are fine and he shares the tank with two dwarf angels.

    Swimming in the same spot and not eating aren't good signs at all. Try catching him with your bare hands. If you can, that usually tells me he is gonna be plant food soon. Sorry for the somber news. I hope he pulls through. -SoLiD

    BTW- I don't know of any Fish/Reef Stores that take back livestock once it has left their facility. <_<
