Clown fish swimming weird

Yes I do and yes they are alive and well. What's the best cure for this?

Sadly, the only treatment really is to move the fish to a treatment tank and begin a full copper treatment. In my experience though, once you’ve lost fish to this scourge, you may not have enough time left to save the remaining one.

This will be fine for fish or some soft corals but if you get any corals in the future i do suggest a powerhead. The seaclone is a very bad protein skimmer though and i wouldnt suggest it but it will work for now to add oxygen to the water mostly and it isnt too large of a tank anyway so a protein skimmer I wouldnt say is absolutely necessary in really any setup.

Jay- I think 45 day fallow is protocol for velvet, right?

I’m not sure, there hasn’t been any fallow studies done on velvet, just the one (flawed one) on ich. I’d probably be a bit more conservative and go with 60 days to be safe. Of course, quarantining new fish is vital, else the next ones could bring something right back in.
