    To those in the clown club. I have a pair or tank raised black clowns. I noticed yesterday that the smaller of the two does not seem to close his mouth. He is swiming fine and seemed to be eating (arctipods). Any ideas. BTW - i am planning on a water change today.:confused:

    I've read of clowns being stung in the mouth by frogspawns and hammers when they attempt to clean them with their mouths. Could possibly have a bristle stuck in there from a polychaete as well. It should heal in time.
