Sick or dying clownfish

[Trena]

Checked my water parameters and they are fine. My other clownfish picks on him a lot though. He is laying at the bottom of the tank struggling to breathe. He gets up and wiggles around thenlays back down. What can I do?

Have you tried getting him out of there? Could it be a stress response related to be picked on by the other clown? Does he have any other symptoms? I would try quarantining if possible to see if anything changes when he is separated from the other clown.

Ya don't just leave him there so te other clown can kill him. It won't work. Lol

He is digging a hole in the sand. He "sleeps" in it. Could it be getting ready to spawn?

All my clowns have dug a little pit in their corner of the tank. Not necessarily a spawning thing.
