I bought a pair of b/w clowns for my 8 year old tank qt and accliomated them properly(as with all my fish), and my levels are perfect. 2 moths later the male starts jacking his jaw like a tweeker non-stop all day long real fast too and died 3 days later. the female did the same thing but lasted a little longer then died both fish ate, had vibrant colors and no signs of illness other then jaw jacking. all my other fish are healty so what is it?
 
Sounds like it could be a viral or bacterial infection. It doesn't sound parasitic. If there was no scratching or mucus build-up,or spoting then I wouldn't think parasite. If a bacteria infects the lateral-line then it is possible to see this sort of behavoir. Luckily these type of infections usually don't transfer to other fish.
 
but it apered at least that one gave it to the other, the male had it first then the female. what is a cure for it and how do I stop other fish from geting it?
