Dark spots on my sabae clownfish

harrywwh · February 12, 2004

Hi

Bought 2 sabae clownfish last week, both around 1 inch, very healthy and fight aggressively among them for the anemone. I though if bought 2 same size and place them in tank simulteanously, it might be pair up, but it had been 8 days, they are still fighting, so should I wait and see or seperate them immediately? don't know why, their body develop dark spots these couple of days. The rest of fish is ok. :thanks:

Water parameter:

NH3 - 0

i think both fish are male or female..

the dark spot might be from the result of fight..

why dont add one more in.. then might be able to balance it and avoid the fight

might be due to some parasites .. sealice or something .. seen some on my clown clining to the body ... they drop off leaving dark spots on clown... they usually attack at night /lights off .
