One of my clowns looks dead, is it sleeping? usually it lies down when sleeping...at the bottom left in the tank. When i touch it it wakes up or somethingm but i'm scared cause I just cleaned the tank and put new rocks in...:confused:
Omg...he is now floating and sleeping and wakes upi and floates...is he still sleeping? omg i'm so scared, is that why they like caves so they dont float up when they sleep?

Also do you think it will be able to eat those feeders? There mouths can unhinge right?

......need a better pix...smaller as well, so big....salt and temp is all I personally would do as well.
 
I think I figured out why one is starting to look sick, becaue when I cleaned my tank I only left my filter and 1/8 of the bateria from the water, and that may be why one looks like that. So I addedd bateria and salt and temp is up. Hopefully it helps, and any help would be nice..ty
 
That's definitely not a normal behavio for a CK. How much of a water change did you do? 50% weekly would be nice, but I wouldn't go more than 75% every 3 weeks.
 
maybe swim bladder? If it is, theirs nothign u can do just wait it out. But deifinately raise temp and add aquarium salt. GL man
 
Ok I found out what I did wrong, was definetly the beneficial bactria. Iadded the bateria and salt and temp is up and clown is back to normal, omg I was so scared. Thanks for all your help guys, mostly in the other threads...lol
 
glad to hear he's back to normal there wasn't anything else you could have done really so well done, and yes their mouths are huge but not too wide!
 
my clown did that when i first got him
no i don't think it can eat those gold fish first why start it on them any way try blood worms or brine shrimp or ghost shrimp you don't wan't to get it addicted to feeders you wan't it eating frozen fish or shrimp feeders cary disease
but if you wan't to feed it live fish or its the only thing thay eat try guppys for that guy or baby goldfish
