Well an update, Doug was over for a Coffee and he thinks that she has a parasite in her she was the first clowns that i got when I started the tank in 2003 and she was woild caught too. still she is laying around moving not much by the clam at least she is out thou..

Sorry Mike, she does not look to good. If its an intestinal parasite, not sure how to get meds to her, if she wont eat. I having a look for other disease they may get.

Fot those that think she is old, thats not that old for a clown. It was a baby when Mike bought it. My pair are now over eight yrs. old. I know several aquarists with clowns in their teens and a couple over 20.

She was a good healthy female before this. Was sad to see her this afternoon. Her male would give her the snuggle now and then as she swam up on the clams mantle. Mike fed the tank while I was there and she showed no interest what so ever.

Hope she puls through. Our male went through a tough time a few weeks ago with pop eye, but recovered. So we know what your going through.
