Clownfish acting funny

[Hallowhead]

Howdy,


My one clownfish has been off the past couple days out of no where. He/she is ~ 3 months old. The clownfish appears to be breathing really heavy the mouth keeps opening and closing at a rapid rate. It practically lays on the rock unless someone walks into the room. When it's time to feed the fish comes to life and eats almost normal. A little less than it used to but still eats for sure. The clownfish has no marks on it whatsoever.


All my other fish don't appear to be having any issues.

Ammonia: 0

Can you turn on the whites and give us a close up on the clown?

 

[Sponge]

Long shot. But any chance he is trying to host that frag.

On it now - just finishing food.

[Trio91]

It could be nothing but it looks a lil white around his mouth. It's super faint and again could be nothing. Did you recently glue down a frag in your tank?

 

[Trio91]

Other than that, I'm not sure... that was a guess

 

[Hallowhead]

Yeah no I didn't glue anything recently. I am hoping maybe he nabbed at a coral and got a little sickness.

Does his eyes seam a little swollen. Compared to the other clown. Maybe not quite clear

What would that be a sign of?

 

[Sponge]

Not sure. Possible infection. But take advantage of the fact that you have a pair. Do your best to compare them and look for any differences

Swollen could be popeye.
