Who Gives A Fish Forums

Generally speaking, it's not uncommon for clown fish to take some time getting used to their new surroundings. I'd give 'em a few days of peace and quiet before introducing new foods to their diet. Having some mysis shrimp on standby is also a good idea, just in case they're a bit finicky about ...

I'm looking for some easy-going fish to add to my tank, something like clownfish, does anyone have any suggestions?

Mine did the same thing when I first got them, they stuck to one corner for a bit. I was worried but they came out of it after a while. If you're still concerned, you could try switching off the lights for a bit, see if that helps them settle in.


thanks for the advice, they seem to be settling ...

just set up my new clown fish in the 80 litre tank and they're mostly sticking to one corner, is this normal behavior for them or just a settling in phase?

I was thinking goniopora too, but these ones are all flat, no stems or heads underneath. My LFS guy mentioned something about a flower pot, but I couldn't find anything like that on Google.

Here's another pic to help you guys out

Got a new addition for my Nuvo 16 tank, but I'm stuck on placement - anyone got suggestions?

Tank's pretty shallow, btw. Running Maxspect lights.

Should I go for high flow or keep it calm? And what's the best lighting setup - high or low?

Thanks in advance, guys.
