clownfish not eating

[Red44]

Hi my clownfish has stopped eating he is swimming at the top and his eyes look popped like tire around his eye his mouth is always open and looks like he has fungus under his chin is there anything I can do? or will he heal on his own?

Sorry about your fish. Metronidazole by seachem works good for sick fish.....don't know if he's too far gone but it's worth a shot and you can add it directly to the tank if he won't eat.

Thxs for the reply I have him in qt and he looks better all I have in there is heater and a small powerhead and the salt is 1.17-1.18

I can't go to the fs untill Sunday is there anything I can put In to help, someone said to put a price of garlic in but I'm not sure

 

[2Reefnutz]

Not sure on that.... Never tried it.

It cant hurt so I would do it. Alot of people soak the food in garlic juice because it boosts the immune system. Best of luck with ur clown.
