    well my clownfish of 9 months died today :( he wouldnt gain weight but i thought that was because he wasnt getting enough to eat. so i fed more and still nothing. he was real skinny. no other fihs were affected. very sad...

    Sorry to hear, it is always hard to figure why some fish don't make it.

    It sounds like it had a parasite of some sort. The effects are that no matter how much it eats, it will eventually starve.

    Think on it. I dont know how shipping would work.

    I do have 4 clowns in my 55 breeder as we speak, and they get along great. Thinking about adding some more just to see what happens

    Yeah, that does sound about right.


    I lost my hippo tang to some sort of internal parasite.
