Clown: Any clues what it could be?

[Grins]

Ah, good to know.

Grins I have also heard just to take a clove of garlic and put it in your sump to stimulate feeding as some fish don't take to the garlic in their food for some reason.

I'll try but I'm thinking this girl just likes flake. I ran out of time to get it today.

That's all my clowns will ever eat.. Anything else I put in there just gets spit out..

So I just let them win this battle, and got the highest quality flake food I could find... They act like piranah with the stuff.. lol

guys do you realize what your talking about, it could be anything. why dont you take it down to a laboratory and have them put the Clown under a magnifying glass. the chances are its nothing so just leave the fish in the tank and stop worrying. What would happen in the wild????????

 

[ooja3k]

Grins, I would say it isn't anything to worry about...

My clowns often get discolorations on them, and its just from them duking it out...

But i can see why you put them in quarantine as its better to be safe then sorry..

 

[Grins]

Um, it could be a parasite so I'm monitoring it. I prefer to take a pro-active approach to my tank considering it is a limited space versus the vast body of water we call the ocean.

Thanks Ooj, right now I'm more concerned with the nutrition of the female. The male is willing to eat the meaty fare but she spits it out and refuses to sample it.

theres an article in "the reef aquarium" about a fish getting stung by anemones or frogspawn... i dont even know what im looking at:lipssealedsmilie:

 

[Grins]

Yes and if you look at mine you'll see several black pigment areas where they have been stung before. I'm not worried about those. Mostly I'm concerned about their nutrition.

And no, but I almost bought one today. :grinyes:
