:I have three a captive bred P. Clown fish. Thay have lived together for several years now. My smallest one is now staying toward the top of the water and I noticed he is not moving his mouth. In an attempt to feed him, he just sucked up the littlest bits of food but is not eating normally. His little eyes look very stressed. What's wrong? The other two are fine.
}} i'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE AND SEEN THE SAME THING, NOT A GOOD SIGN, ONE CAN ONLY HOPE FOR THE BEST , BUT MY PAST EXPERIENCES
HAVE TURNED OUT GRIM, IT'S REALLY HARD TO SAY , CLOWN IS STRESSED
FORSURE, WHY?????, MAYBE ADDING FEW MOR IN TAKE MAY HELP, i ALWAYS THOUGHT THE CLOWNS WERE VERY FRAGILE , BUT ONE i HAD A JUV. SIZE TOMATO CLOWN , i HAD IT FOR A BOUT A MONTH AND ONE DAY IT WAS GONE, THERE WASNT ANYTHING IN THE TAKE THAT WOULD HAVE HAD HIM FOR LUNCH, SO i GAVE UP LOOKING , THEN ABOUT THREE MONTHS LATR i DECIDED TO REMOVE THE SPONDE FROM MY AQUA-CLEAR
FILTER , AND IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SPONGE WAY A HAPPY CLOWN FISH WAITING TO BE RESCUED, i FELKT REALLY BAD , HE WAS SUCKED UP THROUGH THE INTAKE AND STAYED THERE IN THE FILTER 3 MONTHS, SO
i GUESS SOME ARE REALLY HARDY....
