【Question】Is the way better for my clownfish？

[DIYfan]

I have kept clownfish as a pet recently, but it died often.


I heard that it will die because of the high temperature. Therefore, I decide to clip the USB fan onto my fish tank for cooling my clownfish.



I am poor, but I want to keep my lovely clownfish forever, so I had a idea of DIY USB fan. I bought the cheap USB fan and the clip.





Is that way better for my clownfish? Or anyone else has better ideas? Thank you very much.

Your fan seems to only be blowing on a small area of the water surface, for fans to have better cooling efficiency, they should be angled to blow across a larger area of a tank (the more air flow and wider surface area the better the cooling). You'll need to check the tank thermometer to see how effective the fan is.

Btw, your tank looks like a freshwater tank setup... clownfish are saltwater marine fishes, they will die in freshwater environments.

Would you think if I install 14 cm USB fan, it will be angled to blow across a larger area of a tank?

I will change the saltwater tank. Thank you very much

Yeah, a larger fan with more air flow and blowing over a wider water surface area would work better.

Clown fish are rather hardy fish and should be ok in higher temperature water. I think it is the freshwater that killed it.

OK,thank you very much. I hope my clownfish will be happier

Did you mean that I should prepare more salty water for my clownfish?

Before we advise further... just to confirm when you say "clownfish" you are referring to this fish?



Have to check because if its a different fish (some shops give fishes wrong names), then our advice will also be incorrect.

Yeah, thats what i was thinking... i've heard of friends calling their clown loaches as "clownfish" because they heard the name wrongly at the LFS.

Subscribed. Curious how this will turn out. I'm guessing table salt and yet another dead clownfish. Lol

[mlongpre]

Died often? How many have you gone through?

[DIYfan]

whats your water salinity?

My water salinity is 1.023.

Is that not enough or too salty?
