Hi guys, I bought a pair of wild-caught clownfish from my LFS a week ago with the following issues:
1. Not eating for 7 days. Offered a variety of frozen/pellet food with garlic extract / Selcon and didn't show any interest... They were eating at the LFS.
2. After dosing Prazipro for 24 hours, one of the clownfish started to have white stringy poop.
3. Fish appear to be lethargic, struggling to swim (Video: )
4. Did a freshwater dip and everything looked good.
Red flag at the LFS: there was a couple of dead clownfish in their tank when I purchased them at my LFS. When they were caught by the store owner, one of the fish appeared to be paralyzed for 5 minutes. The store owner told me they were new arrivals (transshipment). In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have purchased them considering their dead tank mates.
The fish are currently in my QT for further observation. I'd really appreciate any feedback on the treatment. Thank you!
