last night, instead of hypo, i did a fw dip on my clown. i left him in for probably about 30-40 sec and this little bug like thing that looks like a pod fell of of the fish around his gill area. if it was a pod, would that cause his mouth to swell up like it has? my clown's mouth doesn't really seem much better this morning, but he looks a little happier and swimming around more
