Clownfish is Malnourished :(

Looks like they are both doing ok, swimming around together and have only been in the same tank for a few hours. I'm sure that will change soon though.

New one is very active, he's even eating!

Clownfish are so cool!

 

How long will a Clown take to fully settle into a new tank?

He's been hid under one of my rocks for hours, he just seems to stay at the bottom and hide under the rocks, lying on the sand barely moving. Is that normal, I don't remember what my first two Clowns did when I first put them in my tank...

 

They usually acclimate pretty fast IMO. Give him a few days and keep a close eye. If it's laying on the bottom, there may be a prob but not 100% sure/

 

He's not laying on the bottom now, but he is kind of hiding under some rocks...staying in pretty much the same position, won't come out.

He's also not eating. I've given half a cube of Brine Shrimp and i've not seen him eat any of it.

Also, his mouth seems to open a lot wider than my other Clown. It's not locked open or anything, but when he opens and closes his mouth as all Clowns do, he seems to do it a lot wider...is that normal?

 

so it was swimming with the other and eating and now it's not? Sounds like something is wrong man. I would just keep a close eye on him and make sure he is not being picked on by the other.

 

He was swimming happily as soon as I put him the tank, I saw him eat a small flake...

Now he's still kinda swimming, but in a small cove in my tank between 2 rocks.

Not seen the other Clown picking on him at all...

 

Oh wait...I turned the light off and he came out, now swimming along with the other Clown...

Whenever I turn the light on he seeks shelter under the rocks...

 

I would just give him some time - probably still acclimating.

 

he is just freeked out from the transport. give him time and he will come around.

 

Yep he's fine now. Swimming happily with the other Clown and eating fine. Actually seems to be eating more than the original one!
