I have an ocellaris clown that I've had for ~1.5 years now. She's always been somewhat timid but usually a great eater if fed in "her spot". I've set up a new tank over the past 6 months. The tank water parameters are essentially perfect, no ammonia, no nitrites or nitrates. I added a another clownfish with this fish at the time of the tank swap. The new fish is a juvenile and they instantly took to one another swimming around together without any fighting or squabbles. I've not seen any aggression whatsoever. The problem is my older clownfish is now on day 5 of not eating. She doesn't appear to be breathing fast, there are no lesions on her. She will swim up to food sometimes and sniff it or even bite it and spit it out, but she shows no real interest in the food. The juvenile on the other hand eats like a pig and is doing well. I have tried PE mysis, the NLS pellets she's eaten for the majority of the past 1.5 years, even frozen brine shrimp. She swims around the tank a bit some days, others she hides in the corner, but that was her MO in the old tank. I can't see any evidence of any infections other than her poor appetite which began instantly upon moving tanks. I can't tell if this is just stress to an extreme or if she came down with something :sad2:. Any input would be much appreciated.
