Sick Clown

[frvarugh]

Hi MR -

Please see video of my clown fish which I've had for over 4 years. This male is paired and they've laid eggs on the regular. The past week, the male clown just refuses to eat and lays on the anemone. The female is perfectly fine, feeding etc. Any ideas on what it could be?

The breathing is very elevated. Any new additions recently? Even corals/inverts?

Sounds lik what happened to me minus the eggs.

Nope - tank has been the same for 5-6 months.

Is he ok? Maybe qt... I saved my huge vlamingi that was “blind” I was hand feeding him..
I then put him in the fuge and bathed him in Rally ruby reef For 1.5 hours.. he’s back to normal and thriving.
I qt all my fish but mistakes happen.. the protocol now is this bath, copper and deworm.
They say brook can come
Out even a year or two later.
But fish get sick too and there are many bacterial infections fish can face.
I’m now adding beta glucan to their food to hope in adding to their immune systems

Rally contains a small amount of formalin + 2 antiseptics, so it's good for treating Brooklynella & bacterial infections.
