Can anyone help me diagnose what is wrong with my clownfish? Here's the info on him (or her?)
Tank raised, bought in Oct 06, tankmate firefish (best buddies). Eats like a pig! (begs worse than the dog).
In Nov 06 ich hit the tank. I tried to fight it by doing garlic and going hypo, didn't work. I QT the clown and fire for 4 weeks, (treated w/copper). They were clean, put them back in the DT, 2 days later both had a couple of spots. I tried KickIch per the LFS advice. After about 10 days the clown would sit on the bottom and just about fall over. Immediately I put him and the fire in a QT. After 2 days he was still sitting on the bottom not eating. I treated w/ copper. Clown came back to life. That was 5 weeks ago. But now he has these horrible like seizures or spasms. Neither he or the fire have had white spots. They both flash from time to time but no spots and I watch them like a hawk all day. What's causing these spasms? Is it the copper? The firefish is perfectly fine. Water params: Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 0.
