so i finnaly got my 2 clowns i said i was gonna get, they are a pair, ones small ones mid sized but i noticed that the big one is constantly opening and closing his mouth and this morning he had long white poop hanging from his behind....parasite???

Could be. Do you have a way to quarantine?

 

[Droskie20]

Not really my 20 gallon isn't done with the cycle

 

[Droskie20]

just got home they both look fine, and both are eating good idk anymore lol

 

[little_fish]

As long as they are eating well, I wouldnt worry about it too much

 

[wontonflip]

+1 fish....white poop usually means internal parasite, but again, if they're eating, they should fight it off.

if you can feed them peelet food with garlic in it. it helps a lot with fish health.

 

[Droskie20]

How many times should I be feeding a day?

 

[Kelz88]

twice a day is what i usually do,

 

[Bluesaltwater87]

Keiz88 is right. I only feed 2 times a day unless i am giving them a treat than it will be 3 times.
I feed 2 times a week at night using baby brine shrimp. (that i grow) for my corals nightfeeding. I feed the tank at 9 in the morning than at 6 in the evening. if i do a treet it will be at 1 or 2. at night i do it at 11 or 12.

Once a day or every other day is fine. If you feed too much, you risk overfeeding. I'm down to once a month feeding with my tank.

Fish are programmed to eat when ever a meal is available.That don't happen every day in the wild,so it's easy to over feed.
That being said.Just an 1/8th cube of frozen is plenty for even a fully stocked 200 gallon once every two weeks.
