hey
 

thanks for all the info.. im just going to let the tank mature for a month then try again.. shrimp is still alive so ill just feed him every now and then.. give it a month read some more and get the skimmer going as well.. because i hate losing fish

Just to trow this out there. Did your other clown live. It could be you ended up with Brookanella (clown fish decease) It kills fast and has that film like slime as well. You might want to wait 45+ days just in case. Your shrimp would not be affected.

Brookanella? what exactly causes it?? it could have been but it was also on my tang? and my other clown didn't make it which sucks..

Check here it can kill other fish as well but is most comen on clowns.
