My occelaris is swimming upside down I read an article and figured she must be constipated or has a swim bladder disease

{Third picture is of her mate}

Is this clown in the same tank as the Damsel missing a chunk?

With a bloated belly like that it may be swimbladder or it could be severe constipation.

Add 1 tbs of pure (unscripted) epsom salt per 5 gallons, can repeat dose twice. This can help with swelling and won’t hurt anything.

A fish with a swimbladder issue will be overly bouyant, fighting hard to swim down from the water’s surface. If this is the case the fish can be lansed.

I'm sorry for your losses, it is weird though, first your damsel with a big flesh wound, and now your Ocellaris.. hopefully a coïncidence

Yeah I was pretty bummed out of her passing since she was with me from the start of my tank. At least her mate is fine

R these in the same tank as the striped damsel...could be from constant aggression. Is this also the same tank u suspected of having ich/velvet?? Have u set up qt yet?

She was the "boss" of the tank and put every in order even the striped damsel. No the tank that possibly has ich is my other one. I haven't set up a qt yet since the white specs went away but will definitely have one up and running in the near future
