My tomato clown has discolored and ragged ventral fins. I noticed this a few weeks ago, but they seemed to get better. Now he is hanging out behind a rock, breathing fast and not eating. He is usually one of my most bold fish and eats like a pig.
My tank is 55 gallons with a sump/refuge. No fish have been added recently except a lawnmower blenny two weeks ago that had been QT'd and is very healthy. All other fish (two firefish, LMB, diamond goby, and blue sided fairy wrasse) appear quite healthy.
Ammonia: 0
Nitrates: 0
pH: possibly high... 8.3-8.5 (hard to read)
temp: 76. It is normally 81 b/c of our lights. The house got cold last night and the heater clearly wasn't calibrated correctly.
salinity: 1.023.
This is a bit upsetting as this is one of my most robust fish, and I feel that the tank is more healthy than ever. If anyone has any ideas, I would be glad to hear them.
... oh yeah, all inhabitants (minus LMB) were treated in QT for ich two months ago. The tank was fish-free for 6 weeks and all returned healthy (copper treatment). There are no signs of ich that I can see. Nothing visible but the ragged fin.
