Howf777 Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I just bought a clown fish for my nano cube, with stock ph + 60gph ph. It seems that that is too much current for the clown. He doesnt swim around but seems to struggle to swim in one spot. Its to the point where i turned off the 60gph and turned down the stock and he still seems to be struggling. HE was doing fine when i bought him, the LFS even fed the clowns so i can pick one that was lively and eating. In the past i bought 2 clowns and the same thing happened and they eventually died in 2 weeks. please help. Is it normal for clowns to swim in 1 spot thanks Link to comment
cartophilus Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Mine swims constantly in the flow of my 210 gph pump in my nanocube. He even sleeps by it. I'd look for another cause. Link to comment
Cesar Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Clown fish are kinda silly. Well the name says it all. They are kinda weird with PH. Mine does the same but I think it's just their daily exercises. They burn body fat like that. Link to comment
Howf777 Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 do they actually swim around or always swimming in the same area. also do you guys have anemones for them to rest in? thanks Link to comment
Cesar Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 No, mine doesn't swin there all day. Usually he is in his RBTA rubbing hard. He might come out once in while and swim against the current. Link to comment
Howf777 Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 yeah i dont have any anemone for him to rest in, how do they typically rest w/o an anemone? Link to comment
