Hey everyone!

I currently have a pair of black onyx true percula clownfish in my 30 gallon reef setup. They've been great and I've had them since they were babies. However, today i looked into the tank and noticed that one of them is breathing very rapidly and has two puffy eyes. One problem with the tank is that I don't have central air and it's been very hot here for the past couple of days and I'm afraid the tank might have been too warm? is this a possibility? I feed the clownfish usually 2x a day with flakes and a variety of brine and mysis shrimp. Only other takemates are a yellow watchman goby and a pistol shrimp that hides all day. Everyone has been getting along fine in the tank, I'm outta ideas! Please help me get my clownfish back to full health.
 
i think there is a fish disease forum on here...try that...i bet you'd get more response on there.
how hot did it get? i'm in az and i talk to a lot of people whose tanks have been up to 87, even 90 w/out too much bad stuff happening, so unless you got it way up past that, i'd say its not a heat issue, but the way that its "panting" kinda makes it sound like it...maybe hes thirsty? jk
