My skunk clown fish has been spazzing every ten minutes or so &at night when the lights go out he bob at the bottom corner or swims kinda sideways at the top. I’m thinking it’s a bacteria related parasite. I haven’t found a steady feeding pattern and I’m pretty sure I’m over feeding the tank.

If he gets worse. I would set up and iso tank. 10 gallon tank with salt water. With a small pump running. Take a filter from tank set up running on isotank. And I’d put him in there. You don’t want it going to other fish. And feed him in there. That will stop him from dying in a place in the tank your can’t get to. Then follow up with treatments for bacteria infections.
