Lol nem

[Mine_Turtle]

so i fed my nem this peice of fish...and well, it flipped.

lol what's with this nem

If the nem flipped over then there is a chance it is not doing good. how long has your tank been setup, more information, pictures.

If a nem is firmly attached then it will not flip over with or without feeding.

Yeah, that sounds odd. Was it attached previously?

 

[Mine_Turtle]

it stuck to the aquarium wall for like 2 weeks after i bought it. then it started roaming, then stuck to a rock, roamed, rock roamed, cycle goes on over and over and when it moves it uses its tentacles to walk so it flips to walk

the tank has been set up for a month but the water came from the sea and the guy who sold it to me said it's okay no matter how long your tanks been set up

Nope. Nems need more mature tank with stable parameters. If it's moving all the time and flipping over, it's not happy.

 

[ssgtgonzo]

Agreed. Its not long for this world in a new tank...

He will said anything to sell you the anemone.

40 gal tank ,1 cleaner shrimp,4 yellow-belly damselfish,4 false percula clowns,1 anemone

I would also get two of the clown2 out. in a 40 g tank, It is best to keep just 2 clown long term. (from your signature line)

lol it's been a long time... i couldn't go online cuz internet was pretty much down... anyway, nem doing great! fed it a shrimp and it gobbled it up! it looked happy, stuck to a rock. anyway, the bad news... 1 clownfish and 2 damsels bullied to death... don't know why the other 3 clowns seemed to do fine... i'll edit my sig later...

 

[Mine_Turtle]

couldn't post pics tho... computer's too laggy

The clowns are marking/staking their territory.

Like SG said you may want to remove them to a separate tank or a few more will succome to this death.

 

[Mine_Turtle]

the tank's in total peace. the alpha female started to mellow... nem's travelling again and is spitting the shrimp too... lol... dont mind my sig it goves wrong info
