So we pulled the trigger on a young mocha storm clown, he was very active in the bag.. we slowly acclimated (1hr) him to a 10g new quarantine tank. We dosed it was stress guard and Fritz turbo start and used imaginatrium boxed saltwater and a heater, plus hob filter.
Probly put him in about two hours ago, I checked all the levels, which were good. Salinity were within .02 from the store.
A hour later he was on the bottom tilting to his side, stirring upright then tilting again. I got paranoid, checked the ammonia, and salinity. Added another dose of Fritz 900 out of paranoia since it says same day fish.
Then just checked him now, still near the bottom, not active but not tilting, not wanting to leave the bottom or swim. His mocha color seems slightly more bright somehow? He didn’t move when I put my hand near the glass so I put my hand in to see if he’d swim. He barely moved until I touched him gently then he jetted up and away to his corner under the filter again.
We put in a 2-3 flakes (why it looks dirty) to see if he’d eat, didn’t really do anything. I’m just paranoid he’ll be dead by morning, or something else — any advice?
