Clown Fish look sick?

[sleppy]

We have two Clown Fish that we bought on Friday. Today they are swimming really slow. Have white patches of stuff on them, It doesn't look like ick i know what ick looks like. More like a fungus patch on them. There laying on the bottom of our tank. Swimming side ways up ward. They just don't look health. Our tank leavels are all correct. We check that. There also not eatting but the mouths are wide open like they are hungry. Any idea any one? :nervous:
There also breathing really fast.
There also having a hard time swimming to the top.
Does anyone know what could be wrong with my Clown fish???

Sounds like Brooklynella hostilis to me. You should post this in the disease forum. They need to be medicated with something like Formalin ASAP if they are to have any chance at all. A freshwater dip may help in addition to the QT.

I agree as well. From the sounds of it though, they don't have much of a chance of survival.

It's a naturally occuring disease. Buying wild caught Clownfish is the major risk. Try sticking to tank bred Clownfish.
