Help! Sick B/W Clown

[jmadison]

I have a blk and wht occ. clown had for 2 months now and he was doing fine, just a few days ago started to notice white stringy stuff hanging from her butt. Still mouths food, although seems to be eating less. Breathing doesnt seem to rapid. Parameters are all in check temp is 76-80.


Thanks in advance!

Sounds like an internal parasite... I would put in a QT tank and treat but gut loading live brine.

sounds like a bacterial infection.

I have my tank away from home for the sumer, wont be home for another month. I wont be able to qt her til then. Would a Fw dip help by any chance?

QT in a rubber maid tub or empty salt pail. I doubt it will be alive in a month.

Update: No more stringy white poop. Her apetite is very very good, eating nonstop. Continue to keep my fingers crossed.
