Clown needs serious help :(

[beth]

Sorry, its hard to follow this topic because the large pics you post so enlarge the display that I have to scroll back and forth. I see you started the M2.

 

[meowzer]

oh sorry...I thought they would be better than the thumbnails.....I'll stick with the thumbnails for now on

 

[beth]

Hard to say, if I can get the thumbnails enlarged enough.
I think the clown was just sleeping on PH.

 

[meowzer]

LOL.....he scared me

 

[yannifish]

My Royal Gramma used to sleep between the glass and the powerhead. I think it just felt secure there.

 

[beth]

Well, there used to be a way to get pics uploaded without the thumbnail but I can't figure out now.

Well maybe we will get that fixed one day

So should I continue with the maracyn 2 then? I got a little nervous today when I saw him on the PH

I did a 3/4G w/c too this afternoon

 

[beth]

Yes, continue with the M2. Do water change just prior to a redose. Does this fish have hiding spots, like pvc pipe, fake coral?

 

[meowzer]

Just a few pieces of rock and the PH....I do have a plastic plant I can put in there

 

[beth]

I would have expected better healing by now. Lets see what the M2 will do. Is his wounds still raggedy, or does he just have the missing scales?

 

[meowzer]

Kinda raggedy.....not smooth at all....bumpy....I know it is really hard to tell in the pics....even the good ones don't show it as good as in person.....
Here are some pics from earlier today

I think he was really beat up.
The question remains. What are your plans for him? After the M2, he really doesn't need to stay in the QT. However, if he is returned with the other clown, you can expect more of the same.

 

[meowzer]

I could put him in the 29G.....In there I have a chalk Basslet, citron goby, zebra eel and scooter blenny
I think he should be okay in there....do you?

 

[beth]

I guess you'll have to do that. Lets see how he does now.

Try this, clowns often get it, and its typically fatal, sorry to say. But don't give up!!!

Now that I realized that this post is old, I feel like captain obvious...grats to me....

 

[meowzer]

I know it is going to be hard for you guys to tell...but I think he may be getting better.....the lumpiness that I spoke about seems to be going away, and his sides seem more flat....
Here are 2 pics...

His appetite is still excellent.......YAY...I am going to add a little more meds tonight, and see from there
what do you guys think? Can you tell from the pics

 

[beth]

No, can't really tell much from the pictures. He still looks pretty beat up. Perhaps permanent damage to scales and flesh. I'd say some point soon, it will be time to move him to his home.

OH YEAH....he still has a lot of damage, BUT the other day it was more bumpy looking....it has flattened out some....I know it's hard to tell by the pics, but I think he is improved some.....I was hoping you would be able to tell too....It is sooooo hard to get a pic of him cause he is sooo active......
Before moving him, I'd like to see a little more improvement....I'll see how he looks by this weekend....how does that sound???

 

[beth]

Give him another week in QT. I guess you can try the giant pics again.

 

[meowzer]

OK.....I'll try to get some better pics tomorrow.....he was spazzy tonight...lol...it's like he knows what I'm doing...
