Hello,
I would really appreciate any help with my current situation. The tank (100gal cube) is almost 3 months old. Added a bristletooth tang and pair of da vinci clowns 2 weeks ago. Have a lawnmower blenny, "test fish," that has been growing happily for 2 weeks before those additons. No other livestock is in the tank. About 10 days ago the female clown stopped eating and I observed white stringy poo. Gave her a couple days, still nothing and no poo. Now the male clownfish isn't eating. Dosed PraziPro 5 days ago, now I'm noticing white poo again but still don't seem interested in food. Tried garlic w/ brine, mysis, and Rod's. They seem somewhat better but are spending more time in one spot, even with flow reduced. Have an air pump pulling air from outside. The tang seems more hostile recently towards the clowns. I bought Cupramine, Focus, and Metro. Have a ~35% WC ready to go. I don't want to play mad scientist/OD my fish and I'm really concerned. Could anyone experienced please advise on next steps? Please let me know if I can provide any other details.
