help clown fish dying

[PryncesNewbie]

My dual banded clown fish does not look good at all.. I just noticed he is breathing heavely out the side of his mouth. Has white dot all over his body.. He is looking very pale.. He is sitting in one spot.. He looks extremely stressed.. I found all my other fish, except for my blenny, who did not come out to eat this morning. I do not think he is going to make it.. Please help!!

My parameters are calc 455, ammonia 0.00, nitrate and nitrite are 0.00, PO4 o.oo.. salinity 1.021.. ph 8.0. I did a 20% water change 9 days ago..

White dots? Have you put any new fish in there lately?

it sounds to me you have ick check the other fish for white spots , do another water change

Sounds like ick. I had a bout with it not to long ago, all my fish were infected and I used Kick ick, worked for me with no ill affects on corals & does NOT contain copper. I did a water change right before treating then did the full recommended treatment, I think it took 10 days then did another water change 2 days after the last treatment. only lost 1 fish and he was pretty bad before I started treating, no sign of ick since the last treatment.

agreed it is most likely ick

Thanks guys. I had a feeling it was ick but I did not think it was common for clowns. I knew it was common fcr tangs. I do not have many fish in my tank but they do not have "THE ICK..." as the music plays. dun dun dun... Unfortunately he did not make it.. She was too far gone before anything could be done...
