75g, sump, skimmer, fuge,
Tank mates include 2 tangs, 1 female clown, 3 pajama fish, hermits, and smails
Just added 1 yellow damsel to control flat worms, yellow ployps, and hammer coral.
I have a clown that has taken a turn for the worse. He's tank-bred and has been happy and healthy for nearly 5 months. Earlier this week, I noticed he was not eating as much, and not staying with the female. Yesterday, he was sitting on the mushrooms and breathing heavily. By last evening, he was swimming on his side/nose on the bottom of the tank.
This morning, his fins have lost some color and he remains on his side, "swimming" with his body barely off the ground, in the corner of the tank.
His eyes do look "buggy" and his abdomen swollen, although it is difficult to tell if that is because he has lost weight from not eating recently.
I do not see any white spots on him nor have I seen any aggression towards him, even in his weakened state.
Any ideas? I'd hate to lose this guy!
