Hey all,
Background - have had this tank up since last May after we moved, but have been around since about 2004 when I had my 25 gallon.
For about a week my clown has been breathing hard. His mouth has been constantly pretty wide open. All his fins look fine, it kind of looks like he is panting versuses gasping.
Strangely, he has also been not leaving his frogspawn at all now, he seems to only come out to eat and he is sometimes fully hidden in there. He eats okay but not great. He eats some and spits some out.
We thought he had a spot but then the next day it was gone so I am not sure if it is Ich. Can anyone provide suggestions?
He seems to also be slightly dicolored by the top of his head - but i dont know if this is because is also not going out into the light at all now.
I would like to have a better idea of what he has before I just treat. Or is their any broad spectrum treatment?
Also, the levels for everything are fine and there is no other fish in the tank that could be harrasing him.
We have formalin and stop parasite around if either of those would help.
Please help!
