my clown fish are suicidal!!

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

my clown fish are either killing themselves off or they are getting pulled into my koralia powerhead , why is it so hard to get these damn clowns off the ground!? all im asking is is for a mated pair dag nabbit!!! salt water fish are such jerks sometimes jumping out of tanks and doing whatever they want ! i am so f&*^%$(g agravated with this hobby!!

on the other hand my softies and acans are thriving amazingly (knock on wood)

 

[THEDLO]

lol ive had my clowns for almost a year and they still havent done the nasty.

 

[JimmyR1rider]

Thats why its important to have the correct amount of area available to suit how many clowns you have- unless you buy a mated pair you have to select 1 that is bigger then the other by a descent margain. If not theyll fight and possibly kill each other over establishment of the pecking order.

I always advise people to buy a pair thats mated already.

Best of luck with your clowns

Funny, I heard your fish saying you were a "jerk for not having a net on top of the tank"

but :shhh: this cup is suppose to be empty....:tongue1:

We all know you are a softy, its OK to be sensitive....My Girlfriend is sensitive :tongue1:

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

yeah i guess i am a bit of a jerk but in my defense i have a 54 gallon bowfront and i am having a bit of a hard time making a top net, but my cat seems to be smiling about the whole issue

What are your water parameters? Maybe your clowns are trying to tell you something.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

oh my parameters are good im just missing some damsels im sure they may have met my cat, but the clowns just fight or get sucked in by koralia my starfish wrasse snails softies and hermits are all ok and i have one clown, i just cant seem to be able to keep 2 at once and its getting me choked up a bit thats all, any advice?

 

[Lenny718]

lol about the cat . Best advice would be like someone else already said, make sure if you purchase two more that one is larger then the other and not the same size.

 

[anen]

I would concur if your fish are jumping there's got to be a reason for it. Stress or some water parameter. Damsels are known to be aggressive so your other fish could be getting harassed by them. Knowing you are in this predicament, whether it is challenging or not I think you should make a cover for the tank out of respect for the animals.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

yeah i just contacted someone about the cover so hopefully i will have it soon, and then they can brawl in the tank lol
