hi im posting my problem to get some help hopefully, i am very worried i have a six week old aquarium and two weeks ago i introduced two common clowns and a blood shrimp, all was fine for a week until the gauze fell off my trickle filter inlet and a clown went down and died, i repaired gauze and got another clown but ever since i have they wont pair up and neither will eat, one of them looks healthy but the new one i introduced lookes iller every day his face looks very sunken in but no visible skin problem i have tested the water and the ph has been stable and 0.1 nitrite is present but have been told this is a safe amount! im stuck and could do with some help thankyou!!!!!
 
Is this a saltwater or freshwater tnak?
 
sorry saltwater its a 200 litre tank with 50 litre sump and 4 litre external filter, uv filter and protien skimmer!
 
Will move this to the SW forums for ya, buddy.
 
yep...they will show under this same thread buddy
 
it sounds like you have a great set up for the fish, have the old and new clown been fighting at all? try moving the rocks around so they both can establish new territories

Please refrain from cross posting in various forums in the future. It will suit your needs better to choose a particular forum and post your question there.

At this point, we are going to need to know much more about your system to make any sort of recommendation. Please provide as many details about your system, setup, maintenance, testing, etc. as possible.
