Hey guys. New here hence the sponge username. I want to soak up all the info i can.
Just finished a 3 month setup cycle on 13.5 gal aquarium.
All water parameters are good.
Have a 6 gallon QT tank which i have filled peridoically from DIsplay tank.
Made my first fish purchase the other day. A pair of Wyoming White clowns. Did notice one was more sluggish than the other but assumed it was simply personality as everything else visibly checked out.
Did drip acclimation as advised from research.
Did not attempt to feed until day 2.
Both ate. One was a timid eater.
Immediately did parameter tests and all checked out.
Same night i feed again and the sluggish none eating one didnt eat at all.
Now we are at day 5. The sluggish one still hasnt eaten and has white stringy poop coming out of it and is mouthbreathing fast. The one that was acting okay has started timidly eating and i notice some mouth breathing but not fast. BOTH have pinched stomachs. Checked perameters and all is good. I did research and decided to go with treating with API Gen cure. It has been in tank for 3 hours.
Oh yeah salinity is 1.025
Myquestion is:
A. Chances of survival?
B. Should i try anything further?
