[TriGgEr HAppY]

Ok i bought two percula clowns last friday one medium and one large, i acclimated them good then put them in and they looked fine and the big hasnt eaten since, the small one is eating really good and swimmimg around but the large one is just floating on the bottom left of the tank idk whats wrong, it was pooping and the color was white which is prob a bad thing. Any suggestions on what can be wrong with him please i dont want it to die.

ouch

ouch

is the big clown still floating on the bottom or is it swimming fairly normal
today? If near bottom not acting right like you say it likely has an infection and very well could kick
the bucket. Moving fish is hard on them and there are many infections
they can get etcetc... What method did you use to aclimatize the fish?
Did you see the fish eat before the LFS bagged it? I always get the LFS
to feed a fish that I buy before they bag it because in case it takes a day or two to start eating in my tank etcetc..... Have you tried brine shrimp in
the tank? What food are you feeding? Its not the food though.....but....
you want to give it something as tempting as possible... do you have
a hospital tank set up that you could move it to and medicate it? I know
that alot of reefers now quarantine their fish before they add them to their
new home so they can medicate if any problems etc...I have never done that
but I may have to start in the future as more and more infective diseases
get into the stores systems etcetc.....

Sorry I cannot be of more help...I am not a pro..the above is just my opinion.
