Hi everyone... My tank began with a pair of percula clowns and 4 yellow tail blue damsels. The damsels are doing great.. not very aggressive. I lost my first clown on day 3. I awoke to find the back half of his body with a milky white coating and no tail fins left... he looked fine the night before.
Now my second (larger) clown is acting really odd. Swimming almost vertical, not really 'swimming' as much as floundering about the tank. He had been getting stuck on the filter intake too AND... when I turn on the powerhead.. forget it! He just gets blown about the tank!
OVerall, he looks great.. color good... no markings, sign of disease, etc .. however I have yet to see him eating the freeze dried baby brine shrimp or the flake food they said he would be happy with at the fish store in the week he has been in the tank.. Any thoughts on this behavior?
Thank you!
