My clown fish are sick again. This time I am not sure why, so I am looking for some guidance. To start off the clowns were sick a few months ago, due to my mistake of rushing. I used rock that was cycled then added some dry rock that cycled the tank without my knowledge. The nitrate spike killed off the CUC and yellow watchman. The clowns made it through and seemed to be recovering nicely until the last few weeks. They slowly lost their appetite over the last week and a half. So now almost completely stopped eating. I noticed one black clown has small ich looking spots on her top side and all her scales look very odd. Especially toward the front of the females face. Looks almost like she has goose bumps on her face if that makes sense. I was wondering what is the cause and what should be the treatment?
My water is good no nitrates, good sg, mg, ca, alk ph. Tanks is 20G display /w a spray foam background 20G sump/fuge. I change 10% every 2 weeks since the only thing in the tank are 2 clowns. they get a mix of mysis and NLS pellets. The clowns are CB. And again they were stressed pretty heavy when the tank cycled, but that was around 2 months ago.
Please help!!
