Clownfish

[leecara]

i have

2 clown fish
3 green chromis
1 yellow wacthman
1 flame angel
1 yellow eyes bristle tooth tang
1 suxline wrasse
getting 1 royal grama

all my fish are very active eating/looking healthy and colourfull apart from my smaller clownfish one is doing great but the other seems to just stay in one spot and he may drift away but he'l swim back. he stays about middle death at a corner when you see him front on he looks very skinny comapred to the other clownfish. you can see his bone going across i think from both sides he used to be active but not now he isnt like he used to be.he isint being picked on no signs of diesease so what but he didnt eat the last feed wich was frozen brine shrimp yesterday
what is wrong if anything or can this just be normal im just confused as he used to be active and all my fish are apart from him i will be doing water teasts later anyway so i can check if its that

He may be what I like to call a "weenie", that is, a fish that is unable to cope with aquarium life for no apparent reason.

You could try relocating him. Otherwise just leave him and see what happens; he might come about.

he used to be very actvie when i put my hands in he used to swim next to my hands. its just since i added the tang and the angel hes gotten shy anyway he is now getting more confident again so hopefully he will be back to normal

Could be an internal infection? Tough to say
