I think my clownfish have something wrong with them....
The BIG clownfish has the following conditions...
Her righted fins are kinda pale or have a white color to them towards the edges...but are not ragged or torn.
She has 3 white dots, about 1/4 of a centimeter in diameter in a straight line... you can not see these dots when you look at her side straight forward, only sideways.... other than that she seems perfectly healthy.
Now the smaller fish has the following symptons...
He has ragged and torn fins... at first, about 2-3 months ago, i thought it was normal for it to have these ragged fins, because I was told it is comman for clownfish to have ragged fins every once in a while.
His "side fins" are not torn and ragged but directly under the side fins his body seems to be deterioting or rotting away, but it is not bloody. the rotting looks just as it sounds brown, darker than the maroon color, slightly yellow in some spots, and it is "sunken in" but it isn't smooth, but it has texture, kinda bumpy, with "rolling hills"
He hovers at the top of the water, which isn't really uncomman since he and she "broke up" about 6-7 months ago.
They both eat normal....
the setup is a 55 gallon FOWLR...
2 brittle starfish
1 chocolate chip starfish
1 flame angel
1 royal gramma
1 cleaner shrimp
scarlet and blue legged crabs... 1 snail
we just moved about a month ago... i use well water now but conditioned.
Also i know the two clownfish are not fighting because they stay at opposite ends of the tank...
