I noticed today that my clownfish have white bumps on their skin. Both clowns are the size of a quarter and less than a year old. I dont think it is velvet as the bumps are too big and not as numerous. I have shrimp and invers in my tank.
1: I have a 29 gallon display with HOB filters (floss, ceramic rings, skimmer, fuge) Do I need a UV sterilizer? If so I'm going to get a HOB UV Sterilizer attached to an 80/gph submersible pump.
2: I am planning on making a quarantine tank tonight, I'm going to go to walmart after work and pick up a cheap small beta tank, probably like 3-5 gallons. Will that be big enough? The fish are tiny and it's only the two of them in the tank right now. I have a air pump and stone ready and I'm going to get some PVC for the clowns to hide in. I plan to do one 75% water change daily with no filter, is that enough? (Unless the cheap tank comes with one)
3: Will I need anything more than 'Copper Power' from BRS to treat them with? I like them alot and I don't want to loose these two. I've had them for 3 weeks now. (I just started this tank (my first) last month.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
