Hello Everyone,

I’ve had my clown for just over 4 years now and its been an adventure. We moved from our house in Charlotte to a camper in Asheville and now his is in a 12gal tank at my work (we are building a house and he will be relocated back in to his 50g tank). Recently he has started to act strangely, he has been hanging out in the open bottom corner of the tank (almost looks like he is laying on the glass) and he has a mostly transparent bubble that has formed on the side of his face. He is very active at feeding time, you wouldn’t think anything is wrong with him but other then that hes just hiding.

I’m pretty diligent about water changes, changing roughly 25% weekly. Parameters are all good and I haven’t added any new live stock recently. I’d hate to lose him after our 4 year journey… Any thoughts?
