My Tank is a Fluval 13.5. About 3 months old, cycled, established with some CUC and Ricordia's.
Water parameters are good except nitrates/Phos are bottomed (trying to fix that)
Temp 78
Sal 1.025
Amm 0
Nitrite/trates 0
Phos 0
Ph 8.0-8.2
My two clowns are the first and only fish to the tank and they are young. First week they were fine, Second week they were eating less and less and having white lumpy poop. I decided to start feeding Metro+Focus. they ate a bit the first day then stopped entirely. I stopped dosing to recover their appetite, since then they wont really eat anything at all. Ive tried Frozen: Brine/Mysis/Emerald Cuisine/Marine Cuisine, Pellets: TDO Chroma, New Spectrum, PE Mysis, all with an w/o garlicguard.
Now they are looking pretty lethargic, thin and heavy breathing, they probably havent eaten much in over a week. My little one is starting to swim strangely. Thoughts on next step? Should I move to a Hospital Tank (dont have one setup currently) and try dosing water directly? Any idea's as its starting to weigh heavily on me
