Hi all ... Got our first fish yesterday - 2 ocellaris clowns - one was quite active and spent half of day near top of tank in the corner but did also move all around - but this morning he is up in corner again and just looks like he's struggling. We have good flow - 2 Sicce 4 power heads
It's a 125 and has been up and running for months - all levels are good - dosing calcium and alkalinity regular
Other clown is fine
Fed misis shrimp last night and the ok one did eat but guy at top did not
We did not quarantine ... I know ... Maybe should have . But LFS guy whom we trust very much said no real need as these were our first fish. This LFS is extremely well respected ... They quarantine before sale and they get fish from A&M aquatics which is right down the street literally and these are tank raised clowns
Could he have been sleeping or whatever fish do? I had just gotten up and turned on light so tank was in resting mode all night
He's actually behind one of the power heads where the flow is perhaps at its lowest?
