So here's my first salt water tank. I like leaving stories and leaving no info out So skip to video (it was mad prior to finding out about IP )
It has been running for 5 weeks and I put in a yellow tail damsel at the 2 week mark. The damsels was doing so great so active and eatting pellets today I decided to add my first inhabitant I really wanted. A clownfish!! I read they are very hardy like a damsel and my lfs just got a captive bred shipment. I didn't want no regular clown I'm just not into regular stuff I always want different/higher end for some reason so I got a Picasso! Well He looked good in the LFS seemed to eat pellets (they had 195 in 2 75 ish gs because he just got them last night) So I thought it was a good to go being hardy and all. 4 hours later white stringy poop doesn't notice food (could be from newly acclimated) and swims in one spot under the light and when the light goes off goes the the corner and swims at the top. He's making me nervous swimming around looking brainless in a spot and with internal parasites. He seems oddly close to the top. But damsel is 100% fine and acting like a normal fish. Plus did a water change before not expecting to get a fish. I hope he makes it :'(he costed $60!
Ph ~8
Ammonia 0
nitrites <50
Temp 78
SA 1.025
Well I like to leave stories so ignore that and watch
