the edges of his fins have had little whiter marks that I assumed were nip marks from the larger clown. Directly on his gills, I noticed some slimey looking white splotch. I received this fish from ORA breeder, which has a history of very healthy fish, but anything can happen. Should I be worried? What steps should I take?

Hi, sorry, missed your message until just now.

Did the fish come direct from ORA? How long have you had it? Do you have a treatment tank available?

The fish came directly from ORA. I do not have a treatment tank. I have had h for 6 days.

Sorry, one other question - I couldn’t see in the video, any rapid breathing?
Given the history, I’d say Brooklynella is unlikely, more probably some general bacteria/mucus from sparring with the other clown. Lack of feeding and rapid breathing are the two serious symptoms to watch for.

Thanks for the info. He is still eating some frozen and smaller pellets and he is not breathing rapidly. I had assumed it was from getting nipped by the larger clown, but I wanted to make sure. Thanks a lot!
