[tiffanydunk]

As per topic.. it's usually the first to grab the food and it like a pig. But these 2 days it's not eating.. it's just stay ard the the octo. Not behaving as active as before. But wad i notice that there's a white string where it poos. Is it some kind of disease?

so open or close fin is gd bro ?

for what i knw... when clown fish looks for a nest spot... normally will display erected fin on its back,n when u try to disturb their home... they also look this way when they r pissed..

hahaha....not sure...based on my limited experience....closed fin follows by stiff swimming style is not encouraging....of course...if they swimming UP and DOWN...lol.....and display curiosity....should be fine....also....heard from reefers that if their poo is white....it might indicate that they kena poison during their capturing process....since you said they eat like pig(if you kept them for years then i think this will not apply to your clown)...their poo should be brown.....anyway...my experience is limited as i killed many clowns in my attempts(seems like velvet problem)- very sinful(reason seems to be new tank sydrome)....hence cannot comment much....just sharing what i encountered. Just hope your clowns are ok. : )

it's eating now. added melafix marine and treat it. although pimafix shld be used, which i suspect it to be a fungal infections. But it's eating now so shld be fine.
