Hey guys. I have a black clownfish that I have had for 6 years. This guy has seen some tough days when I first entered the hobby but has some how made it through them.....
But now that I have a well set up 300 gallon with great water parameters is when he decides to "get sick". All other fish act fine so I have ruled out any type of water quality issue or low oxygen. I dont see any cuts, scrapes, or bruses on his body... he is a full grown fat clownfish. Any ideas? I dont think he could be dieing of old age, he is only 6 and I have read about other clowns seeing 20-30 years.
Symptoms:

Symptoms:
- Rapid breathing
- Difficulty swimming eventhough in an area of low flow (Body looks like it might be trying to float?)
- Dont think he ate today (I have auto feeder, no way to know for sure)
