Hello,
I need some people's opinions about my black clownfish. I purchased 2 clowns about 3 weeks ago, and a week ago I found out they had ich. I built them a quarantine tank and medicated them with a copper based medicine that my LFS highly recommended. Within days, both clowns were showing great improvement, but the one who had it the worst, he was still struggling. I sadly lost him last night. However, my other clown is much better and wasn't giving me any concern other then the fact that he wasn't eating. So we bought live brine shrimp and he finally ate.

Here is what I'm concerned about..... I'm concerned about his swimming. He swims fine one second and then almost has a spaz attack the next. He kind of jults to the right and then the left really fast and then swims normally Is this something that I should be concerned about? Or could this be because he lost his tank mate and he is stressed?
