Please help me with this little guy!
1. How old is this aquarium? 1 year and 2 months
3. What is SG of this aquarium? How measured? 1.024 measured with a refractometer
4. When was the last fish added to this aquarium? 2 months ago
5. Was it quarantined? If so, how? And how long? Was it prophylactically treated? How? This little guy was QTed for a month with no prophylactic treatments done
6. If you are using a copper based medication, which one? How often do you measure level? When? N/A
7. If you are using hyposalinity, how did you calibrate your refractometer? Currently the fish is still in the DT, so no hypo. I use a calibration fluid each time I use my refractometer
8. Please describe in detail, the appearance of the fish? If there is one or more pimples, are they lumpy? What color? There looks to be two white lumps on the left side of the mouth (perhaps fungal at first glance, but seems to be quite rare). The same side of its face looks as a human would look after a stroke (sagging and slightly lowered)
9. Please describe the behavior of the fish as best you can. Is it acting reclusive? Is it always up towards the top of the aquarium? Is it avoiding light? How active is the fish? He is acting somewhat reclusive. As as where he is in the tank, he is at the top, but both of my clowns seem to sleep near the top every night near my HoB skimmer box. I have noticed the past two days the two clowns have been somewhat distant from each other.
10. Is the fish eating? What?My fish generally eat a combination of flakes, mysis and brine shrimp soaked in Selcon. Also some emerald entree
This fish has been healthy, until today when I notice his face. I check salinity, nitrates, magnesium, calcium, alk., temp and pH on a regular basis, and all seem to be in check. Last change to the aquarium was my weekly 10% water change yesterday (salinity remains 1.024). Everyone else seems to be happy including a few softies, LPS and RBTA. The only medication I have at the present is API's EM (erythromycin) a broad spectrum control of bacterial infections...lists fin and tail rot, gill disease, mouth fungus, hemorhagic septicemia and red sores as curable. Thanks for any help that you can provide without a picture!
