Well, for reason I don't have very good luck with clownfish... both of mine died :cry: But I'm releived that I don't have to deal with sick fish anymore. I got two new fish, a royal gramma and a pygmy angel. They are doing excellent. I am planning on getting two clowns again soon, along with a cleaner shrimp and a few more corals, then I'm done with my "accessories". Wow...if anyone else wants to know the bucket/drip method of acclimation is soooo much better. I don't really remember who recommended it, but thank you! All of my fish are finally eating!!!
 
I feel yoyr pain on the clowns...sorry. Glad to hear everything is going okay now. Any thoughts on why you lost them? How is your water? When I loose a fish and ther is no sign of disease or trauma, i automaticlly think my water numbers are off. Keep feeding those angles...I have found that they love a varied diet. Good luck...Lando
 
Well, the first clown to go was a wild one...I guess he couldn't handle the fluctuations of an aquarium. The other just stopped eating after the first died. He didn't eat for about a week and a half or so. I think he may have had a hint of the ich, but I did attemp on treating him, along with the whole tank so it wouldn't spread. One day he just got really tipsy and pale...................................... :cry: Other than that the water is perfect. Like I said, I think all the "sickness" is gone...my other fish are doing so well, so I can't imagine it was the water, cuz it would effect all of them...
 
Hi - Being new-ish to SW keeping, forgive me for asking: What is the "bucket/drip method of acclimation"?? Sounds like somethingI should be clued-in on before stocking in earnest. Thanks.
