Re: Lonely clown fish
 

Sorry to hear about your loss, Jim :frown:

In a couple of different tanks at different times over the years, I lost mates to both ocellaris and skunk clowns. Each time, after waiting a week or so, I simply added the replacement clown to the tank. Each new clown was persistent in trying to get close to the original clown, but the original clown spent 2-3 days fending off the attentions of the new clown with aggressive behaviour. In the end, the original clowns accepted the new clowns, but I was always a little concerned about harm coming to the new clowns for those few days.

She seems to be acting her usual self again,eating well.I'm going to wait for a bit before introducing another,just to see if it wasn't some desease(better save than sorry).I have 25 paid days to sit and keep an eye on things :cool:
Thanks for all the help.

Apologize to those that might have been offended.

I guess she couldn't live without her mate,cause I found her on the carpet today,hell this is getting frustrating :evil: just when I think things are going good...
I've heard of clowns that jump and thought it will never happen to mine.Now I have to figure out how to tell my4yr old daughter(she really hasn't noticed yet that both are gone :frown: )

Grab a new pair quick - she might never notice...

:idea: I could run when my wife gets home,or I could say they're out visiting their fish friends for a couple of days,that should buy me some time.

Exactly! :biggrin: ...or, they have to stay for a day at the "fish hospital" with the other clownfishes until they get better... then they can come home again.

You go, Dad!

:wink:

Yea,she took a long time to foregive me when I gave her"Dorey" (yellow tail blue damsal)away!can't go through that again :frown:
