Sick clownfish help

[thecommentr86]

Hey guys I have a clownfish who has been acting strange and I linked a video. Clasped fins and breathing heavy and today started staying in the corner of the tank breathing out of it. The other tank members being a blue damsel fish, another clownfish a cleaner shrimp, some corals and hermit crabs. All other thanks mates seem fine. The one clownfish also has stringy white pop. I gave the clownfish a FW dip and that seemed to help a bit I’m unsure but I could not spot any flukes on the bottom of the container. I have metroplex and focus on me both are expired by a couple months but as I’m Canadian we can’t get fish antibiotics so whatever I have is whatever I gotta use. I also live in an apartment some a QT tank is not an option I can use a bucket tho. Any help is appreciated the clownfish was eating yesterday but today has not that being said I tried feeding the clown right after the dip like an idiot

Hello so I need some advice. I did another FW dip and notiched white stops on the pectoral fins? No slime yet and she is swimming more normally could it be ich?

Can you post a pic of the white spots you refer to?

Kind of bad video I did my best at the end of if you pause on the pectoral fins when she’s swimming you’ll see a bunch of white doted together in a tiny clutch. She’s breathing hard because she just got into her FW dip. For whatever reason my video quality is worse here than on my phone

Cant see anything in pic or video
Possibilities are sand, fin ray issue or post injury but unconfirmed

I added some photos! I will say after the freshwater dip I don’t think they fell off so it may be velvet

Not velvet which they rarely get but may be secondary bacterial or even sand. Other based on size - ich but still hard to tell

in this instance what should I do? Still treat for brooks or is it not brooks if it’s swimming normally and no mucus? I got ich medication which I can put fish is staying in QT

I have also neoplex and metroplex would either of those work

No only if there would be an obvious bacterial infection

Rally pro does not contain formalin- acryflavine

I’m only going by their website. The RALLY ™ label lists three active ingredients: acriflavine, aminoacridine and formalin that have been proven effective in parasite control in aquaculture operations and tropical fish farms.

FWIW I also cannot see well what you’re describing. I recommend reef rally pro because I was under the impression that you had no access to antibiotics. I still do not think you need neoplex unless there is a clear bacterial infection. Ruby rally pro will help with brook, and to a lesser degeee bacterial infections
