I have been doing hyposalinity for almost 1.5 weeks now for my coral beauty due to heavy ich. All the ich was cleared up within the first few days and my coral beauty and clown seemed healthy. 3 days ago the ammonia went up to about .25 so i did a 25% water change and ammonia went back to 0. Yesterday i lost the coral beauty, no idea why. Now my clown who has been very lively is showing no activity at all. He wont eat stays around the bottom corners of the tank, breathes heavily, and swims kinda funny. I dont want to lose him. Please help. pH is 8.2, nitrites are 0 and ammonia is 0. And he is still in the hypo tank.

What would happen to a person if they swollowed ammonnia? Well, that's where your clownfish is.
Maintain good water quality is vital for sick fish. Lets see if he snaps out of. Not much else to do.

I have been using a refractometer to measure the salinity. I have been checking all the levels daily. He is still alive but has not eaten in 4 days. He does not seem well i hope he can get over it.
