clownfish is sick. video available showing skin problem.

[Chad Vossen]

he had this problem about the same time last week but worse. i treated him with an anti bacterial and antifungal medication. 8 hours later it was off him and i put him back in the tank. right now we are showing the house and trying to sell it. so i dont have a quarentine tank atm. i can treat him in a 5 gallon bucket if realy needed.

it seems to make him itch because he rubbs against rocks and corals. im not sure if its because of the itching but he rubs his face in my zoo polyps then swims away in a calm manner (i think this part is funny.).

my blue damsel isnt showing any problems. yet

Your fish is generating excess mucus .. which is often the result of a parasite which the fish is trying to shed. If this fish is reasonably new then brooklynella (aka clownfish disease) is a good possibility. Brooklynella is treated with one or more formalin baths ... here's a link.

Hope this helps.
