![]() I have my clownfish for 3 months now. At first I buy 2 clownfish but after a month her mate die 2 weeks later I bought another clownfish and he lasted for a week so I stop for a few weeks on trying to have my clownfish have a mate.. And a week ago I bought another one and now it just died.
What am I doing wrong? Is it possible that my bigger clown is killing her partner?"But I did not see any aggression" And I also did not notice anything wrong with the they eat fine, no heavy breathing, I will just see them dead on my tank. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() Whats your water paramters?
What type of Clownfish? It is probaly the original clown beating the crap out of the new oned. I would wait for a while and let this one grow. Then go buy yourself a smaller clownfish and try again. |

![]() water parameter is Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 0 but will sometimes spike on 20 ph 8.2
Its an Ocellaris clownfish and it is about 3 or 4 inches. |

![]() Are you buying the fish of roughly the same size? The male needs to be much smaller.

![]() Next time try re-arranging the rocks and other formations in your tank. This should theoretically hit the "reset" button for territory and make it an easier adjustment for the newcomer.
