thankfully they where easy to catch so qt is no problem and im setting up the 10g now, ovenight they went from happy to this,
picasso is swimming in circles like its drunk and is the worst and im guessing wont make it
b&w is doing ok just looks funky
both eyes look funny/cloudy on both fish, b&w you can see more of a mucus film kinda look

do you guys think its just trauma or parasite, what does anyone suggest for treatment, i wanted to hear from you guys before putting them in hypo or deciding to run copper.....i know some treatments make things worse

tanks params are all good, ph 8.2, 0 amon, 0 nitrate, 0 phosphate (well zero on my tests) alk is 9
here are some pics more pics in the album

I have another clown in my frag tank that is not showing any signes of beig sick at all..... so its just these two who where in the display tank and have been in there together and fine for over a month now.

Water change was done on sunday and everything else , corals and fish and all are doing just fine.

thanks for any help, i really dont want to loose my other picasso, but he looks the worst.
 
Sorry to say when a fish lays down like that the outcome is usually less then favorable. That being said. Not sure if thats Brook or Velvet, but I am leaning more towards brooknella (sp)...I would research it a little and see if thats what it looks like. Might be to late for any treatment. The best you can do is keep the water quality good.
