new clowns

[mr. clown man]

hello, today i noticed that my male b/w clown is being very calm and is swimming in the same spot, he is also rejecting food, this is not like him, he is usualy full of energy and eats like a pig....is there a problem with this or will he come bak to normal in a few days

thanks

Try using GarlicGuard or formula one...both packed with vitamins to help keep your fish healthy, formula one is a frozen/ flake food that can be purchased at your LFS, i'd personally go with this and frozen because it's packed with proteins,carbs, vitamins, and basically it was designed for clownfish!

yea i have been using formula 1, and hes ignoring it, also tried mini crabs(tetra) and slow sinking pellets ignored all 3, hes just acting realy slow which is worrying me a lil bit, he also looks as if hes breathing faster the normal

Watch near his gills on each side and the stripe closest to his head..my old one had deterioration of it..perhaps bacterial.
Swam near the bottom all the time breathing real fast..lasted only two days and I took him back to the pet store..wasn't eating either.

 

[mr. clown man]

hmm there is no detereration that i see on his gills, im gonna put fresh garlic in there to help out his appetite, his mate seems to be doing great though so i guess well see wat happens......at the price i paid for this lil dude i cant afford to lose him, lol
