Hi just came across this forum on the search for information I've recently converted one of my fresh water tanks over to saltwater had it running fishless for the cycle since April added in 2 shrimp one cleaner and one fire
In Saturday I added in an anemone and 2 clowns
My problems started last night the clown fish had lost his Colour he almost looked opaque for the tip of his tail up to about middle of him nothing much unusual in behaviour other than the other clown was swimming in the anemone and he wasn't he was mildly active so I wasn't all that worried However last night so approximately 24-48 after being added he lost all of his colour and was lying on the sand bed and refused to eat live or flake foods so then I became concerned I woke up this morning to 1 dead clown does anyone have any advice as what to do now if anything and any tips in differences between fresh and salt
Temp: 24oc
SG 35PPT
Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Unable to do the other tests until I get home tonight
