Hi.
I have a 100 liter tank with a blue damsel and Percula clownfish.
I have a problem with my clown fish. I recently went away for 5 days and my when I returned found that my fish hadn't been fed. The clown was looking very listless and his fins a little tattered (courtesy of the damsel I suspect). I observed the fish for a bit and the damsel was definitely giving the clown a hard time, which by now was lying lifeless on the bottom. I don't have a QT but have separated the 2 so they cant get to each other. They are both eating food happily except now when the clown eats, almost instantly he has trouble swimming and ends up lying on the bottom on his side, breathing a little heavier then normal for about 5 mins and then comes good again. Should I keep feeding him? He appears perfectly normal otherwise. All my tank levels are fine.

Any help would me much appreciated,

thanks

Riordo.
