Clownfish Help.

[lietz06]

I was pretty sure my clownfish had ick. I thought it was due to a temp drop while I was gone on vacation. One of them died yeterday morning-got home on Sunday. Today when I was looking at his partnet it looks almost as if he has like mucus hangingo off of the bottom of his belly. I tried to take a picture but my camera isn't good enough. does this sound familar to anyone?

nevermind. next time i went in the room to see how he was doing he was lyin dead on the bottom.

So your clown fish are dead (sorry!) and your tank is now contaminated with ick. Go to the tutorial on ick and see what you must do to rid your tank of ick before you get any more fish.

The "skin sloughing off" is a telltale sign of Brook.

I looked it up and saw a coupe pics and that looks like it's what they had. Is that contatious in the tank? Any special things I need to do even though the 2 lil guys are out?
