    wasting disease

    I had a clownfish develop light colored bumps under its flesh and after 10 days of not eating it died. On this message board I found a description which matches what I saw happen to my fish. I think it is wasting disease. I am not sure how to treat it. My larger clown has developed the same...

    eager newbie

    Hi, I have recently started a saltwater aquarium and have a few damsels in it. The tank was setup 2 weeks ago and I can't wait until it cycles. I have heard that clown fish are hardy. Can I go ahead and get one before my tank finishes cycling? Or will it die for sure?
