Dancing clownfish

rob92 · Feb 12, 2014

I have 2 clownfish in my 35g and every once in a while I notice they both dance (looks like they are spazzing out but they both do it together. One will do it for 2 seconds then the other will do it for 2 seconds). Is that good or bad?

Also I just notice that my honey dew damsel has an eye that's popping. I'm currently treating with melafix but should I be worried?

The damsel most likely has pop eye its a infection. .. he will either loose the eye and be fine, it might go away or it could kill him I had a fish that had it.. I treated with a brawd spectrum antibiotic

My Neon Damsel had Popeye and I did a research and found the recommendation to soak his food in Selcon. Well I always keep Selcon handy anyways. Sure enough after 2 days of feeding him food soaked in Selcon the Popeye was gone completely!!

Clowns are competing for dominance perfectly normal

How do you know when the figure out who is the dominant clown because only one of mine is doing it. And it's obvious who is the female because she runs the whole tank

The one dancing more is usually showing submission, so the one that stops dancing is going to be the dominant one (female) and will get a growth burst and double in size very quickly
