This is probably a situation obvious to the insiders, but being a novice, I am perplexed:
I have a pair of Ocerllaris Clownfish that have been in my tank for a couple of months now. They are paired and relatively well established. of late they are competing with my newer lawnmower blenie for a central spot in the tank (This may be unrelated but I have read about stress issues).
Any way, The clowns have developed tiny black spots. They are less inclined to eat what I feed them although they seem to taste everything that blows by them. They are also becoming somewhat lethargic.
As a side note the female is annoyingly dominate. she chases the male away form all food, even when she is refusing to eat it. He doesn't totally run away but wriggles in front of her when she gets overly aggressive. He does manage to grab some bites when she is distracted, trying and spitting out everything in sight.
But back to the black spots, any ideas or suggestions?
