Hi all, been a while just been letting the tank mature, its been 5 months now and all's well, apart from my black and white clown fish, he keeps on sitting on the substrate, but does come up for food, is this normal for clowns? _________ Hardware-55G Rena Md,Filstar XP3 Filter, 200w Heater, 1xSeio 2, 1xKoralia 2, Lee's Medium Skimmer, 8x39watt T5 Fish-Yellow Tang, Coral Beauty, Midas Blenny, Clown, Chalk Goby Inverts-Snails, Hermits, Black Long Spine Sea Urchin, Blue Linika StarFish, Cleaner Shrimp, Coral Banded Shrimp, Feather Duster, Green Bubble Tip Anemone, Coral's-Green/Purple/Hairy Mushroom's, Xenia, Button, Green, Yellow Polyps, Toadstool Leather,Finger Leather, Purple tip Frogspawn.  |

I would say no, but I only know about ocelaris clowns. My clown loves to play in the current and is always swimming around. I had one that died and he just sat on the substrate in a corner, but he was breathing heavy and didn't eat

Did you find out what caused the clown to die, was he a new addition?, lack of oxygen or maybe something else? | |

My mated pair of B&W do that, and have done that for going on a year. They have a spot where they hang out at, either swimming there or just sitting there. I had some Occellaris clowns do the same thing. _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?

Its been happening now for a good month, i know they are not ill, no signs of illness, spots, torn fins, nothing, they eat well and swim all round the tank through the day, lol, soon as i turn the lights out down they swim to the corner of the tank lie straight on thier sides and gradually quiten down, all they need now is a blanket  ) | |
