What do your NH3/NO2/NO3 look like?

 

[tanan]

NO3=0
Nitrite=0
Nitrate=10ppm
lightening is 40 W CFL.
She has calm down now.just hiding in its usual spot.
I guess it was lightening shock.
Are SW fishes all act like that ?
I have been in FW for eight years.and not a single of my FWs have done something like that.

When you add new clownfish, it is typical for them all to go crazy - swimming up and down in the corners and darting around. They calm down in a few days when they realize they can't get out. Clownfish that have been in a tank for a while don't do this as much, but they still might. Tank raised are always better, but sometimes, if you fall in love with a perfect wild pair of clownfish, like I did, you just HAVE to buy them. Then you give them love, and raise them well, and they turn around and rip your arm up. Every time I stick my hand in the tank I get bloody wounds in a few places on my arms... but they're worth it!

Sounds like she(he?) is still acclimating to your tank.I think you should give her time and mabey feed she(he?) a little bit.

Did clownfishes eat copepods ?

OK
She was stuck on a cave I dont know how.She darting in my interconnected caves much much smaller then that and never got stuck and now she was stuck in this place.I made sure that she wont stuck there now.But what else to do.
She kind of had a small pin point red dot just down his eye.And I m scared.

I think the best course of action would be to kill the lights and cover the tank, and hope she calms down. Having no other ideas, I'm guessing she's a little stressed out because of everything and might just need some night time to relax.

She is now laying low,stucking on everything.I m feeling so depressed.
I did turned off the lights.No movement in the room.Haven't covered the tank.Wanna keep an eye on her.

Thx a lot everyone for help.
