[dominick008]

Please help my Ocellaris clownfish is losing its color it is in a 29 gal with a fire fish goby a damsel and another clown they all seem to get along and don't fight my parameters are salinity 1.022, temp 75f, nitrate 0, nitrite 0, alkalinity 300, and ph 7.8 I don't know what the problem is and she isn't eating plz help me

Your PH is a little low. I'd shoot for 8.2 and... I've never heard of Alkalinity being at 300... What did you measure it in? Dkh? That may be the problem.

Does he eat well?

 

[woody390]

What are you feeding it? Frozen and live will encourage it to eat more than flake

 

[dominick008]

I use those tetras test strips and it says alkalinity 300 and it's ideal but my fish is in fish heaven now ?

 

[dominick008]

And I would feed it frozen brine shrimp

Sorry about your loss, unless the Brine is vitamin enriched, it has no nutritional value. The Tetra brand strips suck. Trust me. I've been there before. Get an API master kit, or you can invest in better ones such as Red Sea, Seachem, Salofert, Elos, Hanna Checkers.
