Clownfish Lethargy

Humphreix2 · Oct 11, 2023

My clownfish keeps hanging in this corner of the tank and recently has started laying motionless, I’ve had him for 6 months and he had brook about a month and a half ago but I assumed it was cured after treating him. However, everytime I do something as little as open the lid without dropping food, he perks up and races around the tank, then after realizing nothing is coming, he retreats back into the corner to chill. I don’t know what to think, all my levels are normal.

Him being lifeless
Joking
Back to sleep

How strong is the flow? Maybe he’s just trying to get out of strong current.
What did you do to treat for brook?
Clowns do weird things, nothing looks visibly wrong with the fish other than the lethargy.

I bathed him in Ruby Reef Rally Pro twice and his symptoms disappeared, but I did change the flow a bit so I hope that is the issue, but it shouldn’t be too strong but I could be wrong, but I’ll direct it another way and hopefully he’ll swim around a bit more, thank you for the reply.

Just checking - it is still eating well?
