I have a filter I can runWhat can you do to manage ammonia? Do you have any bacteria in a bottle? Can you move any bio media or rock from your DT?
Jay
Definitely should run a filter, just don’t use carbon. No need for light on tank. However you may want to throw a piece of rock in the tank since you have no bacteria to add.I have a filter I can run
out of bacteria in a bottle but some on the way
I can move rock or bio in from DT sump from the scape I broke
do I need a light if my qt is for fish?
Yes. Filter just has sponge for mechanicalDefinitely should run a filter, just don’t use carbon. No need for light on tank. However you may want to throw a piece of rock in the tank since you have no bacteria to add.
I'll treat just to be safe but looking at her in QT, she looks better. i see no marks/fuzz/anything. Maybe breathing..i don't know how to count it like you did. I'm guessing just mouth open closed per second...?Just need enough light for the fish to navigate and see food. Rock from your DT should work.
Jay
couldn't get exact counts as he was swimming around...but i think it was 2 per second.Yes - open and closed is one breath. Count for 15 seconds (30 ifg you can) and multiply out to get a 1 minute rate. I'd like to see less than 80 bpm for a clown like that. Anything over 100 is suspect and over 120 is serious.

If you have a chance can you check my last question and video?Definitely should run a filter, just don’t use carbon. No need for light on tank. However you may want to throw a piece of rock in the tank since you have no bacteria to add.
Not necessarily, it can look like it’s better then get a lot worse. That’s how all my fish went. Also, looking at the video, it’s still swimming very sparatically. I would keep it isolated and keep checking. Have you noticed any strange behavior prior to all this (I.e. swimming parallel to walls, swimming against waterflow often, etc.).doesn’t seem to have symptoms. If it was velvet or ich wouldn’t it have gotten worse by now?

The video, he is in a quarantine tank which has no pvc pipe so no place to hide. When clownfish get nervous they try and pair/school up with a fish closest to them (thus they’ll move with their image that is mirroring them because it looks like another fish).If you have a chance can you check my last question and video?
Other than the marks and swimming into powerheads nothing else was out of place.Not necessarily, it can look like it’s better then get a lot worse. That’s how all my fish went.

Also, how long has it been since your last addition. Based on when that was and the patterns of ich/velvet life cycle, we can likely determine if it introduced a parasite.
I’m going to add pipe today. Just didn’t have any.The video, he is in a quarantine tank which has no pvc pipe so no place to hide.

Thanks JayJust need enough light for the fish to navigate and see food. Rock from your DT should work.

That’s what I use.
better safe than sorry I guess...
