1. How old is this aquarium?
6 weeks
2. If less than six months old, what is ammonia level?
0 ppm
3. What is SG of this aquarium? How measured?
1.024 hydrometer
4. When was the last fish added to this aquarium?
12/8/12
5. Was it quarantined? If so, how? And how long? Was it prophylactically treated? How?
Nope, sigh.
6. If you are using a copper based medication, which one? How often do you measure level? When?
no meds yet.
7. If you are using hyposalinity, how did you calibrate your refractometer?
have not tried this.
8. Please describe in detail, the appearance of the fish? If there is one or more pimples, are they lumpy? What color?
9. Please describe the behavior of the fish as best you can. Is it acting reclusive? Is it always up towards the top of the aquarium? Is it avoiding light? How active is the fish?
The clown was in the tank for 2 days and it's mouth got a bit swollen and she could not close it. This went on for three days. I removed her and rubbed the jaw by hand as some sites had recommended. This did not solve the problem. She has not been able to eat. She has spent much of her time hovering above the sand near the glass, although today she seems to have more energy and is swimming around. Unfortunately she was hidden when I brought home a bicolor bleenie and a firefish today.... when I noticed a spot on her right fin. (see pics)
10. Is the fish eating? What?
no eating for 3 days that I have seen, tried mysis, spirolina and small pellets. Everyone else in the tank has eaten them all. ( I have a CUC with two shrimp 4 hermies, and a varietly of snails.
thanks for any help you might have.
