Hello,
I have a clown that has been thriving in my tank for a week now. All the sudden it is breathing heavy, swimming on the sand bed, and not eating. The water parameters are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 20ppm nitrate, salt at 1.026, tempature of 78, with a PH of 8.0. The only thing difference between last week and this week is we added 5 snails, a conch, and a cleaner shrimp last night. I don't believe it is any type of sickness since the other clown is acting normal. There has been no aggression twards this fish either.
