New clownfish acting weird?

[brandon429]

Yes it’s disease or the bullying mentioned, could be acclimation stress, it isn’t ammonia or both fish wouldn’t have made it to today and through to tomorrow etc / into next week

ammonia is plainly ruled out for the reasons Dr. Reef was able to rule it out after this many running days in his seneye+bottle bac study thread as well.

can you post a new short 30 second video of them to accompany the description

I agree, I don't think its ammonia anymore either. I guess I won't know if its disease or bullying/acclimation before I eventually see something on the healthy one?

The sick one has since yesterday moved into a new position. Im not sure if it looks better or worse.
Will make a decision tonight I think, maybe its better to just end its pain.

That was good to see for sure

just wanted to keep a few days running view for the overall system, it looks good

I would just trade that one fish back where it came / have them try and heal it in their qt system

I studied it some more with some better lightning.
Its definitely something white growing on its side.

Looks sicker, don't have much time left.
I could try a FW dip, but dont have a spare heater Could float a bag, but it might not survive it anyways?

What could this be?

not sure how to pinpoint it. agreed, based on posts from Jay's forum there comes a point they euthanize it vs rehab/your call. no sick fish would ever be in my display they'd be evaluated in a separate tank that's for sure at the first indication

if the posts in disease forum stickies and help threads mean anything as a reference, you've got to pull all fish now and fallow the tank. the other fish go into observational qt for at min 45 days so you can complete the fallow here
