Yellow Stripe Maroon clown......HELP!!
I have a yellow stripe maroon clown whos tail looks horrible....
Water params are all good.....
I'm not sure what to do but it has gotten significantly worse in the last 3 days. I had to fresh water dip him because he had Benedeniella Monogenean on him. His tail fin was frayed, but now it his tail fin is gone down to the flesh.....I'll try to get a picture. The rest of his fins look good.
I have been putting melafix in it for 5 days, then started putting pimafix in the tank. I would have posted sooner, but he stays hidden all the time.

I'm not sure what other info anyone would need...so let me know if you need more...

Melafix=snakeoil, IMO.

I would suspect bacterial infection due to bites (large crab hiding in LR, maybe?)

Treat with Maracyn2 saltwater at double dose in a hospital tank. I would also lower SG to 1.018.
