whats going on? is it the weather and shipping? lot of sick fish coming in...
sjj80-- if it was brook you would see alot of skin or mucas coating looking stuff coming off the fishes body. and if it was indeed brook, you would need to treat it very fast, it is pretty lethal.
go ahead and follow the directions in the thread redvipe gave u. is it eatting? breathing heavy at the top of the tank? or barely swimming at the bottom?

makes life a tiny bit easier.Thanks for the info on brook. He's not showing any skin probs at the moment so I feel a little better about his condition. As far as his swimming behavior he does a little of both. He spends most of his time hovering over the pvc or in the corner behind my sponge filter and at times he hangs around the waterline. He's definitely breathing heavily and I've tried mysis, cyclopeze, flake and pellet, and I haven't seen him eat yet. However he is pooping so I assume he's eating maybe when I leave the room. He's VERY pale, especially compared to the other clown that's been in the QT 2 wks. Any ideas?
