Hey guys.
Hoping to get some answers - really not sure about what I'm dealing with, or if im actually dealing with a disease. I have a pair of clowns and 1 royal gramma in a 75g. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed the male clown didn't eat and some of its skin looks like its peeling off/turning brown. I immediately put it in a QT tank and thought it was brook. At that time, i didn't have anything to treat it (I'm still new to this and definitely my first time trying to diagnose) but i ordered formalin and prazipro after reading stuff here. I did a 3 minute freshwater dip as well but didn't see any flukes come out. I didn't get to use prazi/formalin because they both arrived so late (prazi hasnt arrived) but after that day of him not eating, the clownfish is perfectly normal and eating well but its skin still looks brownish on some spots (see pic). The female clown and royal gramma are both normal pigs.
I don't know if this is normal for a clown/should i even perform treatment given that formalin is kinda hard on a fish.
Any advise is appreciated.
