struggling clownfish

[d_icemand]

I had two black clownfish and one decided to jump into the back of the nano cube and landed on a filter and died. So I bought a second one to pair up with the first. Everything seemed fined and they followed each other all over the tank. Now I have noticed after being in the tank for over 3 weeks, the past few days the new guy has been off in the corner by himself and looks skinny. I feed the tank a few times a day with a variety of stuff----flake food and shrimp. He used to eat well and explore the tank, but seems to be shying away. Im worried, is he sick or stressed?? I have other fish in the tank but nobody bothers him that I can see. The older clown fish comes down and hangs out once in awhile with the little one, but then goes back to exploring the tank. Tank params are ok.

what should i do?

may very well be sick, if he doesnt start to improve soon I would remove him to a qt tank where you can pay more attention to him

As stykthyn said may be sick, or possibly just being harassed by the other one to the point that it wot eat for fear of retribution, either way try removing it and nursing it back to health in a qt tank.

he didnt make it. i left the house for the day and when i got back he looked really bad----skinny and lost his black color. it was only time after that. im really surprised how fast his health went down hill in a matter of couple of days. i shall keep an eye on the rest of the tank close.
