Clownfish behavior

[hayden48]

Ive kept freshwater tanks my whole life and decided to try my second attempt at a saltwater tank. Ive had this tank cycled for about a month and a half and added in clownfish. Its been another 2 months and they have been perfect and very active I feed once everyday and regularly do water changes. But today one keeps

swimming like this

It will then come out swim around fine and then go back to that. Is this normal?

That fish is not looking good, respiration is quite high.

This just suddenly started? Did you add any new livestock recently?

No, I havent added anything in about 3 weeks. I added in an airstone for now hoping its an oxygen problem but I have no clue.

Adding an airstone is never a bad idea, though I suspect this is more than low oxygen, but give the R2R Fish Medic team a chance to evaluate your video.

I responded to your other post - this looks like severe brooklynella.
