My female Maroon clown has gotten very larthic and swims upside down. She did not leave the anemone to eat today. I scooped her out with a net and baged her. She didnt try to escape or run from the net. She did right herself in the bag but keeps fliping over. She has a little fin rot I think. The male is fine. She has had a problem with and infection off and on that looks like a wart but I add extra garlic to her diet and it goes away for a while. Is there any help for her or is it her time.
Water is fine and all other fish are great.

if you have one put the fish into a qt tank. i would imagine the bag is very stressfull and then make her as comfortable as possible. she might pull through this if te stress factor is illiminated. question tough, i cant tell from the picture but dose she seem to have an extended belly or do her scales lift up like a pinecone?

She is in Qt now I had to check the water levels in the QT tank as I have not had to use it latley. She will not eat. I put mysies loaded with Garlic in with her she acualy breathed one in and spit it back out. Sh has to "rest" agentest somthing all the time. prestenty on the bottom of the tank like a goby and 1 side agents a rock. Her scales look normal maby a little lighter in color. Her belly looks normal.

She now swims to the bottom when I open the top the the QT but still spends most her time at the top swiming in circles ?

Sounds & looks like this is a result of poor water quality.
I have raised Goldfish before and this sounds like Swimmers Bladder but
Make sure and check your Nitrate and Nitrite levels because some
fish can get poisoned with to high of levels.
When our gold fish got swimmers bladder we fed them 2 (Peas).
Try to give her 2 peas because that helps the gas to go down.
