MY CLOWNFISH DOESNT LOOK OK!!!

[gbru316]

I don't think your parameters are the source of this fishes emaciated condition. What food(s) do you feed these fish?
How often? When fish look skinny like the one in the picture I am inclined to say "Yes" to your "Should I bury it" question. The issue is now, what do the other fish look like and are they skinny and sick also?

Agree with all this.


that fish probably doesn’t have much of a liver left at this point, even if it would start eating again.

and your question about the other fish is why testing needs performed. Because (as I’m sure you know, this is more for OP), poor water quality makes fish susceptible to disease. And if it IS ich, then they’re all majorly at-risk with poor water.

As others have said, it's difficult to help with so little information, but in case this is the result of low oxygen in the tank, you can add an air stone. You can also do a partial water change and add some carbon in case there is some contaminate that got into the system.

Hope this helps.

Incase it's not already clear, please get a test kit soon. Testing is not at all optional for any form of fish keeping least of all reefing. If you can't diagnose a problem you really can't know what to do next.

To be fair, unless it's ammonia poisoning, knowing the parameters in this case is unlikely to help. They have other fish that seem to be ok, and while I agree that proper routine testing and maintenance are the cornerstones of good tank management, piling on after many others have already advised the OP to get test kits is not helpful

I was not intending to be rude or insensitive, and apologize if that's how it came across.

He is now in the bottom corner barely moving.

Any update?

I'd be curious to see what the other fish look like and also what type and how much food they eat. Hope you didn't get discouraged to reach out for help people here just want to be able to give clear and accurate advice

Thanks you for the information! I can’t find the sick fish today. I’ve looked all around the tank, but it’s missting.

 

[Goby Bryant]

All the other fish are eating well, and aren’t thin. They do not have any spots yet. I don’t believe it had ich.

I feed Mysis shrimp, phyto and oyster feast for my corals. I also add S.E.L.C.O boost.

This fish is quite thin and may very well have had internal parasite

Could that spread throughout the tank and is my tank at risk?
