I usually give only one dose of Septra when fresh clownfish show heavy breathing. In all cases I had the symptoms were gone for good the next day and I saw no need to bombard the fish with more antibiotics.
I your case I would suggest to do a complete water change and then continue with the dosage given on the bottle for as long as they indicate.

TY ThR...
The gray mass area is still there. "she" (not a she yet
). looks reasonbly healthy otherwise, extended fins, Perhaps slightly labored breathing, but only if I really look hard. She's not nearly as bad as the previous 'female' I had which passed quickly. I dont see an apparent film or blotchiness on the skin. That was gone prior to treatment, perhaps prrior to that FWD I did 2 days ago. **Do you think this will free her of the grey mass she has? Maybe it's possible whatgever small stress she shows now is partly due to overdosing the med ? I'll do that 100% WC and continue correct dosing. Shoudl I add Formalin? She did eat a bit.. I'll feed more right before the water change.. I'll dump some mysis etc for her to fill up on. I'm pretty confident she'll make it. She seems very tough overall
TY!!!!

They are getting a ritteri tomrrow.. From SWF. I received a sebae from them last week.. VERY small , but 3-4" as advertised opened..
I wanted to get that one to see how it is from a different source and to make sure I can randomly have an anemone shipped healthy to me and that it stays like that in my tank.. and the sebae to this point definitely has. That's what made me more conident for the ritteri.. though I know they are the next level up on care and diffifulty level.
And if the ritteri gets sick I'm ready.
**Maybe I should pretreat the ritteri for a day or two with the recovering perc??? It's the same medication, right?

It just doesnt look to me like that weird mass at base of her tail is ever going to go away. It's like it's tissue from inside of her pushed out or something. It looks exactly same now as it did Monday night after that fresh water dip. Maybe whatever it is is dead now as it's grey, not white, but it spread also after the dip (I think). Frustrating...
She did not have it when I got her. I dont know if ther ewas a injury to her prior to shipping to me and then grew in my tank. Of course she could have gotten injured in my tank, but I didnt see anyone mess with her, etc. She looks 90% healthy right now other than that. Still eating well as well. I'll keep her in treatment through the weekend (I guess). And end it there. Assuming that's the case she still has the mass, hopefully it goes away in time... mystery (to me).
