I personally have no Idea if this is out of the ordinary, but as long as he looks healthy, it shouldnt be a problem. But ill bump this up so someone else can see it

Almost anything is normal for a Clownfish. If he is eating and looks to be well, I would say it is normal, at least for him.

Clowns are odd ducks. My clown has recently begun to rub his body all over my goby constantly, and even lay next to him on the sand. I wouldn't put it past clownfish to find something new to baffle us with. :D

i was looking at my fish and he doesnt look like hes eating...but the smallest one is eating..what could be the problem..he doesnt look sick..

 

[wontonflip]

How long have you had that clown? Was it eating before?

 

[chuysvt]

like 2 weeks the small one wasnt eating so i got a nother clow fish and they both were eating together....and now the biggest one stop eating....

Maybe it's going through it's sex change? If I was turning from male to female I'd probably stop eating for a few days. I'd also stop pee'ing standing up. But that's another story.

LOL @ PRC.

That reminds me of something I've been wondering . . .

If a clown fish is alone, will it ever change it's sex or is that something they decide as a pair (group)?
