Ok, I really really wish I had read this forum before purchasing my last two fish, they are a mated pair of Maroon Clownfish, they were active and lively and loved to eat the first couple days, well the female was, the male ate a little bit, but he's a small fish compared to her. Anyways, she hasn't eaten since yesterday, she seems to have one cloudy eye this morning and has like a white film on her, she isn't swimming weird but doesn't roam around the tank like she used to, breathing doesn't seem to be hard either. He on the other hand doesn't have any white film but swims in one place and kind of to the side. Our problem if it is ich we have snails, hermit crabs, a green sea star and two scooter blennies and 2 cleaner shrimp.
We are going out to buy the hospital tank today and are concerned that if it is ick and from what i've read we should medicate the original tank, but I don't want to kill anything else with the medication, all the other fish are doing fine and they are doing and eating like they are supposed to. I'm really worried, they are beautiful fish and as we are new to the salt it seems treating the fish are a lot different than that of fresh, we used a product called Clout that seemed to turn everything blue, but did the job when the fish were sick. I know we can't use clout on the saltwater fish but any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
