Is he okay? - Page 2

JWarren · 06-20-2008, 05:36 AM

Is he still staying in the corner of the tank? If he is try some pellet food that sinks and put some in his corner to see if he will eat in his corner. Just a thought.

plecosword · 06-20-2008, 12:32 PM

no, he is always swiming to another corner of the tank. right now he on the top back corner. I saw him pooping a long white.. takes a while to upload the video so i thought i would descrive it. I think that is the brine shrimp from 3 days ago.

Well this is just an update on my clown. I guess he's just weird. He's eating great and even beat out the goby and the 2 shrimp getting to the food. He's back on his side of the tank, up and down, butt is still up, which appears to be his resting posture?

Hope your's is doing better. It's great reading everyone's posts. It really helps.

Improvement! he tryied to eat, and he is acting more normal today. he was hanging out with the other clown. He didn't eat anything though, he spit it out. 4th day not eating!

I think he may have a bad stomach ache.

lcstorc · 06-22-2008, 10:36 AM

Great news!
Glad things are looking better for both of you.

JWarren · 06-23-2008, 02:14 PM

Hey that is good! He's a keeper then!

plecosword · 06-23-2008, 03:06 PM

Yes he is! Thanks everyone! They totally switched characters rigth now.

RNicorvo · 06-25-2008, 06:30 PM

Just checking back and glad to see that your clown is doing much better. Mine is too. She is the queen and owns the tank now, I have a neighbor who has a 125g tank who came over to help and found that the clown, like many suggested, may have had bladder problems.

So, Happy Clowns and Best Fishes to you, I'm sure we'll catch up again!

AND THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO TAKES A MINUTE OR TWO TO REPLY, It does help when you're frightened that you may lose your pet to ignorance.

Still eating Mario?

??

plecosword · 06-25-2008, 08:24 PM

yup, they both went picky on flakes though Buth they are both acually eating!

rmlevasseur · 06-25-2008, 09:19 PM

I have had my share of clown troubles as well. I recently purchased a pair of perculas. I already have one ocellaris and one smaller percula.

The larger of the new pair won't eat either, however he doesn't seem as stressed as yours. My guess is that your water is significantly different in some respect then what he is used to, and he's not adjusting to it as well as the other one. I'd test your alk as well, and be very wary of adding buffer if your alk is already high.

If you see any cloudiness or sloughing of the skin, I'd highly expect brooklynella, but so far I don't see any symptom of that besides the breathing and not eating.

As for the dog in the background...I'm guessing Lhasa or shih-zu?

rmlevasseur · 06-25-2008, 09:20 PM

well duh, i didn't realize this was already on page 2. Glad yours is eating. Hope mine does soon.
