Percula clowns have something. What?

[flobskey]

My percula clown are growing white stuff. One has alot of bloches, the other has a bunch of white little dots. What is it? I don't have money to set up a quarenten tank. Should I just flush them? HELP ME!!!

I don't know how to respond to that; I'm certainly not going to approve of flushing your fish. If you feel fish are "expendable", perhaps this hobby is not for you? Something to think about.
You need to give more details about what you are seeing wrong with the fish, and give some info about the type of tank you have.

In your post on the fish discussion board it sounds like they have ich. When my Perc had ich he quit eating and lost a lot of weight. I immediately set up a QT tank and started doing hyposalinty. He didn't eat for about another 3 days, but has since started eating well again, gained back all of his weight, and the ich is gone. I had heard that the hypo makes their metabolism higher, so I started feeding hime twice a day and this seemed to help. Good Luck!

Well they died. I have a blue damsel and a scooter blennie. They are fine. I'm sure it was clownfish disease. They only had it for two days, then died. Sorry about the idea of flushing, It is better of having one clown thrown out than risking the whole tank.

You risk the tank as soon as you put one fish that hasn't been QTed. Keep an eye on the other fish, and don't be suprised if they become symptomatic.
