I have had this clownfish for almost 3 years. He was full size when I got him. For the past several weeks he has stayed tail up or head up in the corner. He does not go after flake food at all, but gets active for brine shrimp, although he can't seem to catch it. He swims fast enough, he just...

Thank you again for all of your help. Lori

Instant Ocean, tap water with stress coat. It is the same as I have always done. I am so frustrated. I haven't had problems in years. The little critters on the clown look like tiny white shrimp. They are ovalish in shape, have antennae, white/opaque in color and their bottoms curl under. Will...

The pet store didn't have anything to help the clownfish. I told them the water numbers and they said to put it back into my show tank. I did a 40% water change around 8pm. I am so glad that I did not move him. At 8am he was dead. He has some small animals squirming & swimming around him. The...

He isn't head or tail up anymore, just sits on the bottom, generally in a corner. We have a small, locally owned pet store. The nearest PetSmart or such is in Savannah, roughly an hour away. I will check locally today when I take my son to taekwondo. I did a 50% water change about 3 weeks ago...

The vet wasn't alot of help. Not his fault since I can't really get the fish to him. I know that they don't like to diagnose over the phone. The copper hasn't fixed him, but he is still alive somehow. How long do clownfish usually live. I have had him for 2 years, but he was big when I got him...

I called an online pet supply place that I sometimes use and a man told me that he thought my clown had fish (can't remember the disease name, but for humans Doc Holiday had it- you cough up blood). He said that I would need penicillin or kanamyacin for him. I called the vet in Savannah and he...

The damsel that died looked as though his spine had a bend in it when viewed from above. One side was almost sunken in and the other was protruding. I first tried to get penicillin for the clownfish from the petstore and the pharmacy. The petstore does not have it and the pharmacy could not...

I have a blue damsel that looks like he has a scale missing on one side. I have had him for about a year and a half. I moved him 6 weeks ago to cycle a 55 gal. new tank. This new tank has a sand bottom and his old tank was crushed coral. Other than hanging out in the corners of the tank, he...
