clown fish diagnosis

Hey guys. Wondering if this is possibly Brook or some scale damage. To me, it just looks like the scales are lifted a bit BUT lfs said clownish dont have scales. I went to another lfs right after (first one didn’t have what I came there for) and figured I would ask there. They told me that...

My clownfish was looking alright all day and after feeding this evening i got back to my tank a noticed this weird spot behind its fin.. In the picture it looks dark but in reality it kinda looks transparent/disscolored. Im a bit worried and wondering if this could be organ damage/leak but i...

I am very new to having a salt water tank and I already am obsessed but there is still a lot to learn. When I first got my two clownfish I noticed this red dot near his gill. I figured it was normal and would heal itself (what do I know right?). I keep an eye on it but to me it looks redder than...

Here’s my first post, which I posted in the wrong forum section Thread 'QUICK HELP!!! MARINE VELVET OR NO?' https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/quick-help-marine-velvet-or-no.1007442/ Could this be Black Ich Turbellarian Infection instead of Hook worms??? And will Prazi or another medication...

I've had this clownfish for about 6-7 years now. When I got it it was pretty orange, over the years it had turned mostly black. It seemed to have a grown spirt lately because it was always much smaller than the other. Does this look like a case of brooklynella? It swims and eats just fine...

Hi all, Not sure what’s going on with my clown fish he’s been acting strange lately breathing heavy laying in the sand and hanging out by the filter but eatting normal. Recently noticed some spots on his face and gills. The tanks been going now for two months and my water levels have been...

I have a new 55gal tank. After cycle was complete, I added two clownfish and 10 hermit crabs. This was 6 days ago. My clownfish’s fins look weird. The look like they have clear growths stuck to the distal ends. From reading other threads I thought it might be lymphosis since there are no other...

I have a new 55gal tank. After cycle was complete, I added two clownfish and 10 hermit crabs. This was 6 days ago. My clownfish’s fins look weird. From reading other threads I thought it might be lymphosis since there are no other spots on the fish (not on the fins). Any help to what could be...

My Wyoming white clown fish has a dirt looking mark on both sides of its body near the tale idk what it is

Can anyone diagnose what’s going on with this clown? Is it just injured, infected, possible parasite? Seen at local petco where I like to rescue the sickest clowns from and quarantine them to rehabilitate. But not sure how to treat this guy. EDIT: after some more research I am thinking...

Hi guys! For the past 3 days, my clownfish has been acting really weird, he is just parking in one corner of the tank, time to time he swims to the bottom or the top of the tank in that same corner, he is eating well, he is not having any trouble breathing, does not have any visible disease...

Hello, Need some help please in ID what is wrong with my Clownfish. I noticed discoloration on body (highlighted in the picture) 4 days ago but the fish was very active and normal so kinda ignored it. However since last night, it mostly stays at one place, does moves here and there but not like...

I've had these clowns for a decent while now and noticed they had tiny tiny spots only on their heads I hope it is nothing to stress about but any help would be appreciated You can only see the spots if you look very very closely otherwise just looks like another healthy clown so was just curious

Hi all, Bought my first clownfish and he’s in my tank on its 3rd day of cycling using atm colony. Ammonia levels are at 0.03ppm so all happy with that. I’ve noticed that he’s slightly translucent, and I’m wondering whether this is a sign of general stress or more likely to be disease? He came...

Just had a baby clown die at 23 days. I was under the impression that everything was safe at this point. Does anyone know what the cause could be? I'd like to avoid any more deaths. I've checked the water parameters and they all look good. Multiple filters and airstones as well, so there should...

Hello, Two days ago I bought a pair of pink skunk clowns from my LFS. I noticed that one of them had some light white marks on some of its scales in a patch as soon as I got it in my tank. For some reason the lights at the LFS made it hard to see but it was obvious in my tank. It has gotten...

Hello everyone! Long time lurker here. I have a female clarkii clownfish that has been sick for a LONG time now. It’s been at least 1.5-2 months of symptoms with no serious development. I called the LFS and they were not helpful, I’m surprised she’s still alive. She floats near the top, has...

Hello! I am hoping that someone will be able to assist me in troubleshooting a new issue with my clown fish (see attached pictures). I have a total of two, one is completely fine and acting normal. The smaller of the two is having a hard time swimming. He will sink to the bottom and flop...

Hello all, Yesterday I got this beatiful pair of clown fish, and I put them in my fresh (cycled) tank. Note that they were swimming perfectly fine in the aquarium shop and plastic bag on the way home and during the acclamation process. But, after I put them in the tank and checked up on them...

Hi and Happy Holidays to you all. I'm new to saltwater and never had clownfish. I started the journey 3weeks ago. Set up the tank 13.5gallon evo with live sand, dry rock an seeded with Dr Tims and added the ammonia. 1week later 90% water change and added (2) clowns and biospira. Noticed...

Hi, Looks like my clownfish has a weird spot underneath it's mouth. This appeared overnight after some maintenance was done on my tank, it looks like a spot just underneath my clownfish's mouth. Sorry for the bad image quality. Clownfish's breathing looks like it's normal now, but had me...

Hi All, I've got a relatively new tank (~8 weeks old) that I added in my first 2 ocellaris clowns into 2 1/2 weeks ago. So far they have all been well, however I noticed 3 days ago the morning after their 2nd water change, one of the clowns started to develop these grey spots on it. I see a...
