Clownfish needs ER!

First, I'd say get the powerhead back on. Your entire tank, including the clown, needs the circulation to help maintain the oxygen level.

Not sure what more you can do for him ATM, other than placing him in a breeder box or the sump until he fully recovers as Corailline suggested for his own safety against predation by the serpent star.

As for cleaning the rockwork, I'd vacuum all I could with a small hose, then just blast what you can't reach. Doing that weekly will help keep detritus build-up to a minimum.

 

My bad, I think faster than I speak so it doesn't always relay out!
There is plenty of oxygen & circ! I only turned off an extra 1200 pwrhd to slow things down a bit!
And I think he's sufficient enough to keep off the floor now. Shewwww!
I feel it would stress him more for me to move him again since I had already put him in before Corailline suggested that
Sounds like a good cleaning program... thanks!
Who would've thought I'd have to blow my leaves AND my rocks once a week???

 

Well my little guy was doing SO much better... Color was great, swimming fine with all pwrhds on, bumping into the new GBTA that we got last week... UP UNTIL 30 MINS AGO!!! aghhhhhhh
He is so pale again & headed to the lower levels of the tank & bumping into the rocks
I moved him into the QT with lower flow & no predators but I'm not sure about him this time
WHAT IN THE WORLD???
If you'd have seen him an hour ago you wouldn't have known he he was the same fish :-/
He was not hosting with the GBTA yet & had JUST started bumping it this afternoon... since he wasn't at his strongest yet could that have made him WORSE???
I'm just lost. I really thought he was out of the dark...
params still same... A-OK... nothing changed in tank...
I think I might lose him this time.

 

Wonder if when you were blowing off the rocks you accidently hit him full force in the mouth/gill area and damaged something.

 

I'm starting to think he might be getting stung by the anemone. I've watched that happen in my tank. Clownfish do not have a natural-born resistance, that's something they need to acquire if they were not raised in a nem, or if they have been separated from their original host for an extended period.

 

I think the anemone was too much for him. He really was looking so good. Complete crash within 30 mins. He's gone.
After playing around the GBTA in bumping it with his back end his eyes started getting really weird. BIG white rings around his iris'. Normally they were completely DEEP DARK BLACK all over. He was left with little bitty black dots for iris'. Very strange to see the difference.
He was so tiny & so cute.
thanks so much everyone ~ for all your input & help.
it is very much appreciated.

 

Great News. I thought I lost a clown the other day until i saw him swimming in my sump. Dont know why but we all get attached to those little guys..... THANKS FINDING NEMO!!!

 

Oh that is too funny! :clapping: glad you found him!
wish mine could pop back up somewhere!
going to get a new little guy today tho... :biggrinbo
