Help my clown, he has a swollen mouth!

[jason_rohr]

He still eats but it must be rough.. He keeps sucking on the frogspawn tenticles.... Any one know what it is or how to treat it?

thanks

My maroon clown got mouth fungus.. she was biting her anemons tenicles and at first I thought she was stung. I observred her all day and she started getting worse. It turned into fin and tail rot/bacteria infection.

Her mouth had white funk, her cheeks swelled, holes appeared in the middle of her fins, she swam at the top for extra oxegen, and wouldet eat. Im telling you this so you can look for signs.

Either way, and im a newb, but Your probrobley have to quarentine him and give him a medicine. Im sure someone will chime in with more knowledge

My maroon is in qt now and just finished her treatment of maracyn - 2. shes perfectly healed

I would vote fungus too, QT and treat with maracyn or formalin.
soak food in selcon or vita chem and it should be ok
