Who Gives A Fish Forums

Honestly, I think one clown fish on its own would be a great choice for your tank, or if you want some company for it, a small goby would be a better option, they're actually pretty cool to watch and can be quite entertaining.

First off, Welcome to the salty side. I'm assuming you're not using live rock, which could lead to nutrient problems if your tank is stocked healthily - and with your fish choices, it won't be. If I've got my calculations right, 22l is about 6 gallons, and the only fish you've listed that might be ...

I'd want to see the rest of your water stats, like ammonia, salinity, and nitrite levels. Maybe the other chromis are stressing him out, is he smaller than the rest? When you say he's missing food, does he actually miss it or is he just spitting it out? I've never seen a fish have trouble eating ...

I've got 6 blue/green chromis in my tank and they were all doing great yesterday, eating and acting normal. But today, one of them is just sitting in the corner, hardly moving. He looks fine, except for a tiny cut on his dorsal fin, but I don't think that's the issue. He's trying to eat, but can't ...

For real, my softies love reef roids. But keep the flow low when feeding, or it's gonna blow all over the place. Messy vibes.

Yo, my softies dig random flow. Try setting one MP40 to lagoon mode at 20%. Adds some variety without blasting them. And yeah, check them nitrates, bro.

I'd say it's an elegance, move it low or on the sandbed with gentle currents, feed a couple times a week. They can be tough to aclimate but once they settle in, they're pretty hardy.

The top one looks like elegance, but I'm wondering if it's individual branches or a single skeleton.

If you're still considering it, I'd suggest trying to get the elegance to close up so you can inspect it more thoroughly for any signs of tissue recession. Although the Indonesian elegance aren't as hardy as the Australian ones, it's not impossible for them to thrive.

Just wanted to update, I picked up a coflake beauty two days ago and everything seems fine so far. He's still hiding a lot, but whenever food comes near, I see him grab it. Had a pretty intense moment though - he actually took a swipe at my tang, but it's okay, the tang will be alright.
