My tomato clown is on its side on the bottom of the tank and it is breathing very fast. The clown has been in QT for one month. The salinity is at 1.009. The ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites are all at 0. What is wrong and what do I do? Thank you in advance.
 
well that doesent sound good. heres my questions..

are u using a refractometer to measure salinity?

any other symptoms besides breathing heavy and lying on the bottom?

are you trying any other meds with hyposalinity?

how long has the fish been acting weird?

do you have a biofilter in the qt?

how often do you preform water changes?

are u removing all uneaten foods and poop?

was it eatting regularly yesterday? im guessing it isent eatting today



I might have some suggestions are u answer. im assuming your treating ick with the hypo. is it gone? 1.09 is on the brink of way to low. try doing a water change (with reef water) and bring it up to 1.010, or 1.011 it will still be effective.
