Hi all,
Had this clown for 2-3 months now. A couple weeks ago a white spot under his right pictorial fin with some light swelling showed up. It then seemed to clear up.
I just noticed tonight that he was swimming lazily, and on close inspection found a sore again in the same spot as before, and his abdomen is very bloated. He was also really easy to catch / fitigued easily like he’s not breathing well.
Not sure what’s going on here.
I did a fresh water dip for 3-4 mins and didn’t find anything obvious (like flukes).
Impaction/constipation?
Dropsy?
I don’t know; I’m worried though. This guy is the head male in the harem - I’d be super-sad to see him go. Contemplating taking him to the vet if no one here has any ideas.
