I have a new clown and about 2 weeks ago I noticed a brown spot on his body at the base of his bottom fin. He was not using his fin and kept it tucked up to his body. I took him to the LFS, and they thought an abrasion. A week later and now there are 2 spots. On advise of my LFS I have him in a Q tank and am treating with anitbotics. They also recommened dipping a q-tip in antibiotic power and applying it directly to the problem area. I did this and the q-tip came away brown. What is it?? Rot of some kind?? Will antibotics take care of it AND is it contageous?? Thanks!
