There is some very rough skin and makes me wonder if any aggression from other clown and light injury. Based on respirations, fish looks a little thin and fins are a little shredded.have noticed that my 4 year old clown fish does not seem to be her normal self for the last few days. I can see she is breathing heavily, and is showing signs of some sort of infection. Also not darting for food as she normally does.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
From what I can see, the clown’s gills are tan, they should be dark red. This indicates possible anemia, but I can’t say what the cause of that might be.
Could be swim bladder or gas in the gut.
She is certainly not lunging to get food. But looks like she does take the occasional nibble. Did see her go back to surface to breathe occasionally as well. I have the skimmer running and a gyre that has been helping with the gas exchange so unlikely that oxygenation is a problem. The other fish seem to be doing fine as well.
Please post you tube video under white lighting
assure there is not too much current
That doesn’t sound like a swim bladder issue - with that, the fish will either float (over inflated) or sink (under inflated) but not both.
