I have two clowns in a 10g. QT, they've been in there 4 weeks are were doing great, very active and they had a voracious appetite.
Two weeks ago I did maintenance on the tank including a 20% water change, changed out the filter pads, carbon/GFO, during which I stirred up the sand a bit. The next day the water was a slightly cloudy which did not clear up.
I changed filter pads and added 1 ml of Vibrant. Still cloudy but fish acting fine. Did another 10% water change.
Everyone here thought it was a bacterial bloom from the sand being stir up and suggested I add a bag of ChemiPure Blue, which I did, and add some bacteria to outcompete the loom, which I did, 2 ml of FritzZyme Turbo Start 900.
This all happened over the course of two weeks. The water is still slightly cloudy, no change. Yesterday my clowns were inactive, hanging out together in the top corner of the tank. Today same thing and they didn't eat.
All parameters are perfect, this is an established tank. Except the salinity which was 1.023, usually it's 1.026 somehow it floated down.
I'm also dosing Copper which is at about .75 ppm which I have gradually build up I didn't just dump it all in.
I'd really, really appreciate any advice, I love those little guys!!
