Is my clown sick?!

[DerekT5]

Hi all I saw that my female clownfish is staying close the the corner of the wall. They have been there for about a day and am now a little concerned about it. Any ideas of what is going on? Thanks!

mine do the same they usually just swim up and down all day and night with the occasional change of corner or eating I think its a personality thing

You'll have to tell us quite a bit more if you want useful advice.

How long have you had the fish? Tell us about the tank, etc...

I’ve had the clown for almost 2 years now and is usually out and about swimming around. If I remember right it has done this before but haven’t taken notice to it too much.

That is normal. They seem to stick to one portion of the tank and swim up and down all day. Do you have a nem?

Any new additions to the tank?
Tankmates?

I agree that it could be totally fine.

Sadly no I’ve had one before but it just moved into a spot where there was no light and almost impossible to feed it

The only “new” addition would be a tang but that was a couple months ago and the only other fish is another clown

For me, this was the first sign mine had Brook.

They naturally stayed in one place in the corner of the tank, and didn't really wander much from there. When they were nearly stationary even when I came to the tank....that's when things got kinda hairy for me. I observed and over the next few days they had developed Brook.

Stationary \= Brook though. Clownfish are very sedentary fish anyway.

I would just keep an eye out for any changes.

It hasn’t eaten for the past two days now. He seems fine other than staying in the corner but I am still very concerned. And is there any way to treat brook?
