Default Close Call....

Well I have been fighting with a Saddleback Clown trying to get him out of my display tank because he is really mean. Well I was able to get the female, but I have been chasing this one for about a month now, he chases everyone, including the percs that I got from another member of our club.

Well anyway, I came home from work tonight and found one of the clowns laying on the floor, he was already almost dried out but I noticed his tail move, so I held him in the sump for a little while with no results. I thought ok I will check on him in a little while and see if he improves and if he didn't I would have to have a funeral.

Well came back about 5 minutes later and there he was swimming around. Well I am going to leave him in the sump at least over night just to make sure he is ok, but so far so good.

keep us posted...amazing luck...I had a freshwater fish jump once and my cat was all over him...didn't help I wasn't home...but my cat did get worms from him...so hopefully she won't do that again...especially if it's an expensive fish that jumps.

Well he was doing great, but tonight when I came home he had passed away. I kept thinking that maybe I should have added some stress coat but never did, I haven't used stress coat for months now. Well I just know now that I really have to get that other clown out of there, he is causing havoc in the tank.
