Hello everyone,

I was looking at my tank today, and I noticed that my female clown has this brown string on her stomach, I’m guessing it’s just 💩, but I wanted to double check, it’s still on there as of now.

Your clown looks fine to me and good body weight. I would not worry.

These clowns appear to have ich and should be placed in a quarantine tank right away and treated with coppersafe at 2.25ppm for a full 30 days along with any other fish in the tank leaving display tank fishless for 6-8 weeks to allow parasites to die off without a host fish

I don't see any evidence of Ich in the Video. The first pic looks troubling but I think there is something on the OP's glass
 
I don't see anything alarming with this fish.....the spots are on the glass, no spots in the video.

Yes.... spots are on glass and was assumed ich, again the importance of assuring the tank glass and lens are clean and proper lighting for accurate assessment
