Clown fish meets sieo....

STsONpERs · 02/11/2007, 04:45 PM

So a am looking at my tank, i am looking around and i see only one of these little black clowns, so i keep looking and looking....i feed and only the one eats, cant find the other one.........

After a little more looking i see the poor guy trapped on the sieo 820.....i pull him of, put him in a little bowl to see if he could swim or if he is a goner.....He was swimming but like nemo does with the gimp fin.....I put him back in the main tank and he is swimming around, i added some food and they eat but his side is red and he is still swimming like nemo....

Anything i can do for this little guy? or just kick back a see what happens?

My girlfriend grabbed these clown fish a week or so ago, and she fell in love.....i would really like to save the little guy if possible.

Thanx

Chris

Do you have a QT tank? Could put him in there to heal.

Sounds like a wait and see. I guess you want to make sure he is able to get at food. You could quarantine so he does not have to compete.
Good luck

I think the QT would be a good thing
