Hello all
My clownfish started acting weird about 5 days ago, unable to swim properly. At first I thought it was just him clowning around but it became evident he has some issues.
Symptoms:
Can't swim upright
Stays near surface of water
Can't eat well
Mouth seems constantly open
Environment
Sole inhabitant of 10 gallon FOWLR tank
Air bubbler + filter rated for 20 gallons (filter floss, carbon [removed for bacterial treatment now], bio-spheres)
Have had the tank setup since Feb 2017
I poked around online and got advice in a Facebook group to try Epsom salts (1/2 tablespoon dissolved in 1/2 gallon RO) as well as microbe lift Artemis marine.
Had a million things to do and no time to trek through rush hour to the LFS so I had to go to petco. They had lots of Artemis products but not the microbe lift for the reef, go figure.
So I grabbed
imagitarium bacterial infection remedy
What is this? Snake oil? Smells like antiseptic. Reef safe per the bottle.
On 3/6 doses of treatments per the bottle. Feeding reef chili. Fish alive and sideways
