clown trigger acting funny

[apapas]

he keeps hiding in the rocks and not eating like he usually does. he's been like this for a couple days. I did a water change yesterday, but even before that my parameters where fine. he is just pale and not as active as he usually is, what can i do i don't want him to die on me

 

[jmccown]

how long have you had him?

Aren't clowns supposed to be funny?

Seriously is anybody picking on him? Any new fish added recently?

i had him for about 6 months or so. no new fish just a picasso that i got at the same time as him. they where in the same tank together before also so the have been together for a awhile

Any spots or streaks on him? I have a friend whose trigger did that. I personally believe it was a bacterial infection. He then developed red streaks on his body. The goofass didn't diagnose him correctly and treated him w/Melafix only. By the time I intervened, it was too late; he didn't make it. A prompt/correct diagnosis is so important (I think).
