I had a heck of a time trying to figure this fish thing out but I think I finally have it stabilized. I tried eliminating every variable that could be causing problems and spent 2 months just experimenting with water changes. I tore down the 10 gallon quarantine and my friend said I should get a spider or something to put in it. I'm not ready for more animals yet heck no lol.
The main tank was fishless for long enough that I felt comfortable getting another pair of clowns. I found a guy who sells quarantined animals that he pre-medicates for common diseases. I was impressed with the clowns he sent. They have been eating and were healthy from the get go. At first they would only eat a mix of Mysis and brine shrimp, but after a week I had them being bold enough to come to the surface to eat pellets. The orange one now chews on the pipette if I don't dispense food fast enough where before they were both afraid of the water that squirted out of it.
I still haven't come up with names, but so far so good. They're so tiny!
