Need Help!

[Meloman]

I have 3 clowns, Yesterday i notice one clown swimming and not using one of his side flippers. Tonight he started using it again, however, he looks like he has very little tail left and his side fins are not much..either...What is causing this. Does ick cause a fish to lose his fins and tail? He he a lost cause? What should I do?

he is probably getting picked on, do you have a qt tank to put him in, how do the other 2 look?

The other two are doing just fine. The one in question was a mate to the biggest clown. I think the other two are worried about him because they stay close to him so no other fish bother him, however, I really haven't noticed any other fish bothering him.

He just died.

i have a pair and they fight cause the female is the bigger of the two, i think odd pairs dont work, sorry about your loss but i would not get another clown let the 2 be together
