So a friend moved to a new place and we transferred his fish tank to the new home. There was a huge ammonia spike that was dealt with by means of water changes and bacteria. He lost one clownfish during this spike. Now the female is showing signs of a disease / infection. Please help us ID this so we know how to better treat her. The skin seems to be peeling off on the patches she has on either side.

You’ll probably want to move to a separate quarantine tank and medicate that, I’ll let others chime in on with what exactly

I agree but until I have a better idea of what it is I can't just throw every medication in and hope it works.

This is bacterial and likely from an injury or bite from another fish/clown
Please in separate treatment tank and treat with Seachem Kanaplex while maintaining water quality and add aeration during treatment
