sick clown fish

[tinakenney00]

This morning I got up to my 2 clowns very sickly. My husband thinks the amonia level in the tank was to high, and also our salt level was high. All of our fish looked as though they were "gasping" for air. The clowns however though were the worse. Our female was stuck to the filter but still alive, and our male was laying on the bottom. Throughout the day they have moved and she got off the filter but she still continues to lay on the bottom. He is sitting up right and moves around a bit but not to much. All the other fish are acting fine now. Our 3 spotted domino was loosing his black color when i first seen him this morning but he is fully colored now. Our yellow tang is the only one it did not seem to affect. HELP?!?! I really don't want them to die.

The best thing you can do is get your water levels back to normal. I would find out the source of the ammonia spike. As for your sickly clowns I would suggest mixing their food with vitamins and garlic guard to help boost their immune system. If they won't eat you can try adding vitamin B12, because it stimulates eating.

Tank size? Tank age? Water parameters? When was last fish added?
