Death In Family Tank

[reilly05]

We have had a mated pair of bicolor skunk clownfish for over a year now. They have been very happy within their (3) rose tip anenomes even breeding four times...however...it appears the female jumped from the tank last night after being startled or something. Now we are left with the male and are worried how this will effect him! What should we do?

Watch the male closely, and seal the area where the female went carpet surfing. You could try adding another larger skunk to the tank, and hope they pair up.

Thanks! We closed the '2 inch slot' that she landed in first thing. She had jumped once before but luckily landed inside the filter itself so we were able to scoop her up. Not sure we will have much luck finding another larger skunk...they seem to be a very rare thing here.

Maybe get a small juv skunk and let your male become the female.

Yeah, a small juvie skunk would work too. You will need to watch cosly. This is a great forum that tells all about that
