I've had this clown for about a year. She's always been lethargic with slight respiration issues - her gills were flared - so I thought it could just be a permanent thing. She's been in a system with lots of other clowns - no one else has shown any symptoms. When I got her, I treated for bacterial, I didn't like the grey spots I saw, i used nitrofuracin green. She seemed to bounce back, was still kinda a picky eater, lethargic, etc. She recently started to get worse, the grey spots came back, or atleast got worse. I was having a hard time determining if they were just her coloring. Anyways, I put her and her male in a hospital tank with nitrofuracin green, followed the directions, came home to a dead fish. She went from alive to dead in 8 hours (I was at work). I'm thinking this is a longer term bacterial thing? Is bacterial contagious, again, no one else has ever shown symptoms. I think the bloating is from being dead. Was not bloated this morning.
