Wide band clownfish:

Not a rumor. Had 4 pairs (large, medium and small juvi's.) Two in cool water system, two others shared with 20 plus other pairs of clowns (tricinctus, frenatus, occ, perc, GSM, akyndinos, allardi, caps, black polymnus, etc.) All went blind w/in a year. No other clowns affected.

eco-tropic had the same thing happen with all his broodstock. He had lots more latz than I.

I don't have any clue as to why. Mine weren't jumpy, no signs of trauma to the eyes and no other fish ever affected. Received mixed food with mixed seafood, vitamins, Nori, Selcon, etc.

Did they get cloudy eyes or were they running into things for you to know they went blind?

So what did you do with them after they went blind?? Did they continue to eat?

You hand-feed them. It's you against the clock battle

Why do you ask?
