Hey everyone, I need a bit of help
I have been monitoring my clown pair recently in fear of them losing their pairing, however after closer inspection it appears the female has a case of gill flukes. She won't eat hardly anything, and is beginning to lose color. She's been rubbing against the rocks and being completely motionless at night and sleeping vertically with her face in the sand.
I'm quite concerned, I had been watching this for a few days to see if it would get better and to see if I could figure out the issue. Now that I know what it is, I fear that I might be too late, but thats why I'm here.
How would I cure these flukes? I've read about fresh dipping, I just feel quite stressed about risking the fishes life. If you have any tips please let me know. Also, are they transferable? Could my male clown potentially have the start of them as well?
Any help here js welcome. Thanks in advance
