Just today my clown was breathing really heavy and in the fake anemone i have for them and was motionless but when I wanted to catch him with My net he started to swim away then when I stopped trying to catch him he went straight back and started to become motionless a started to breath really heavy. Then I put him in a fish box I have and the started to swim in the box normally then went straight to the bottom of the box and is motionless and breathing heavy

But My other clown and kole tang are acting normal

Tank is 50 gallon
Ammonia Is about .1 or .05
Nitrate is 0
Nitrite is 0
Ph is 8.2

Well the problem with that is my tank got ich so because I didn't have any inverts or coral I dosed it with copper
Either way not the focus of the problem here.

Anemones fake or real is unlikely to be a cause here.

I am concerned that this may be a disease, i.e. the clownfish may be infected with something (other than ich) if the other fish are doing fine.

I know the anemone is not the problem but this was the first time he acted like that but I took him out of the fish box back into the tank and now he doing fine so I don't what that happened
