First my clownfish was swimming abnormally and now I have noticed unusual markings on my clownfish accompanied by labored breathing over the past three days. Its appetite was normal until this morning, but it is now swimming less actively and primarily in one corner of the tank. Notably, my other fish, including another clownfish, appear healthy, which is heightening my concern about this little guy.

I did a FW dip which is what the 2nd video is but not sure what I’m dealing with here…. I’ve had the fish 2 month and was fine up until now.

I’ve only been in the game for 2 months so this is unfortunate to have to deal with…. Will metroplex along with FW dips solve my issue?

Sorry - the videos aren’t clear enough to make a good diagnosis. The two most probable issues would be Brooklynella or tankmate aggression.
