Aquarium Advice Regular
Well, after my first pair of clowns died(one wild and one tank raised), I wanted another pair. So I went to the LFS and got two more clowns, both wild. I originally didn't want wild ones because I heard they don't do well in aquariums...but the LFS said there wan't much difference between them and they're both just as hardy. Well, I'm starting to believe that no clown is hardy. I do everything everybody says to do before you buy them including watching them eat, making sure they have been there for a week, watching them swim, etc....the guy even moved them into another tank so I could see how they handle change. But then it's like the second I put them into my tank they begin to show signs of stress and disease. All my other fish, including a clown goby, royal gramma,and pygmy angel are doing excellent. My LT anenome is doing well and my blood and cleaner shrimp...Just recently my clowns stopped eating just like my first two did...PLEASE tell me what I'm doing wrong...I've done water changes, checked pH, nitrite, ammonia, nitrate, and salinity and all are perfect.
I would really appreciate some help, I'm kinda frusterated that this won't work for me, clowns are one of my favorites...
