I have had my maroon clown for over a year now. He is not looking that good right now, poor color, gills look bad, he has been moved 5 times in the last 5 months. New tank, moving home from college (14 hours in beta tank), got married, etc. but he's trooper, i even did fish CPR on him once.

But now maybe I won't have to face her loss for some time........thanks!

Misty-
Fish CPR is a very complicated and complex procedure. It involve balancing the harmonics of the inter-diometricious of the fish...ahhh i am just kidding. Actually i had to just hold "barnaby" by the tail and push him back in forth. I did this because he would just lie on his side on the sand and flap his gills (while breaking my heart at the same time). so basically i did this for two hours or so until i could no longer handle standing over my tank. WELL what do you know, he live and just keeps on truckin'. that is my story

my set up 16 yrs. ago was a 75 gallon on a cast iron stand. had a undergravel filter and just kept it as clean as i could. the corals didn't do so great in it. then went to a 100 gallon wet/dry reef tank. i bought the clown when my daughter was a baby and as she is almost 17 now, i figure the fish is too. she was about the size of a dime when i bought her for $10.00. she is somewhat of a bully, but not too bad. didn't like me putting anything new in her tank close to her anemone, which she has outlived 3. she just eats flake food and once a week some of the prawn i buy for the anemone. great fish . lori
