Hello,
I got two clownfish just over a week ago. My one clown fish hasn't been eating as much, or gotten an appetite like the other one has since introducing them into the tank. They both seemed to be making great progression and for the past week seemed healthy.
I got home today around 5pm to find my one clown fish not being his usual self. He seemed to not be moving very much at all, was staying near the top of the tank and seemed to be gasping. Over the next couple hours things seemed to worsen. He started to maintain around a 30 degree angle and when he would move start to hit rocks and seem like he couldn't control his movements that well. He is not at the point where I feel sadly he is going to pass. He is now not really swimming around at all and cant control his body to remain vertical when he tries. He has gotten very very pale and i almost want to say translucent. This is the fish i would say never really got a good appetite since I've had him for a week.
I am now very worried about my other fish who was eating very well and shown to be healthy the past week, but now he is starting to act erratic and agitated. I know this sounds horrible but should I take what i think to be my dying fish out of the tank in hopes to protect the other one (i don't have another tank).
Lastly on the clownfish that is now sick, i want to note i believe he had a "light" almost dusting patch on his one side when i received him. It wasn't spots, and it wasn't a noticeable white patch on him but when the light him him properly you could see a slight white haze almost. Do you guys believe my fish have brook or velvet?
I have attached showing how he was at 8pm (6 second video) and a video of how he is at 12:30am now (3 second video).
I also checked my water parameters and they are acceptable.
Thank you for any quick responses or help. Please let me know if there is anything else i can provide with you at all to help me!
