Maroon Clown Problem

[saltman23]

I have had my Maroon Clown for over two years. For the past two days, he refuses to eat, is breathing heavy, and has a long strand of white "poo". None of the other fish show signs of anything wrong and all parameters are in check. Any Ideas?!
thanks

Sounds like an internal parasite. What have you been feeding him? Was the food old? Do you switch up the diet to give him more nutrients?

Nothing in the diet has changed. A mix of mysis, formula 1 & 2 pellets and flakes.

Either the fish needs a meatier diet or has roundworm or something. Try prazi-pro. Check out this link, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fww...2Fdisease.html . Click the first link, and go 3/4 of the way down the page to internal roundworm. Some good info there.
