Percula Clown just staying hunched up by rock?

[coreysebes]

Is this normal? My percula clown that I got yesterday is just laying slanted by some lr. I have a Domino Damsel and a Clarkii clown with it, but I changed everything around the tank, and put it in the spot where the other fish don't go. He does eat a little bit of mysis and krill, but I'm afraid of him dying.

That's what I thought, and now I know, good bye clarkii! lol.

Okay, I have it in a bucket with some live sand and a pump.. I'll bring it back to my lfs, just wondering.. How long will it take the perc to notice mr. clark isn't there?

New fish often need a few days to adjust to a new home. And IMO, your domino probably isn't going to play nice either. Keep a close eye on them.

2 months, approaching 3.

Okay, I missed my clarkii so much, I thought I'd just buy another smaller tank for the perc. Here's my idea. Take some rock, and water from the 29 gal, and put it in a 5-15 gallon... Then get some new livesand for it, and add the perc which is in my old 1.5 gallon tank as we speak, but it is just a bowl with an air pump. Anyways, I'm sure you'll yell at me but oh well.
