Lost One Of My ClownFish

[tcarroll]

Come home today to find one of my clownfish had checked out on me,he was laying on one of the powerheads.Didnt look like he had been sick though,and all water paramaters are in check.Have noticed that my Lawnmower Blenny had been chasing them around a bit and he was a little lighter colored on top in one place.I replaced him today with another and noticed that the one from the LFS has a lot more color then the one in my tank.Any reason for this?

Generally, the older they are, the darker they get. Plus, there is natural variation in colors between individuals just like any animal. And their diets will also impact their colors.

Sorry for your loss, that sucks.

probably just stress

Sorry about your loss. Biff's right, colors do vary depending on age. Could be many reasons why the clown died...so i wouldnt worry myself about it too much in trying to figure out why. Probably could be the stress caused by the blenny.

Keep an eye on your new clown and see if the blenny bothers it as well.
