Hi,
I have a very sick clownfish. everthing seemed fine last night when we did a water change, but tonight he is whitish all over, and looks flaky. also, it seems like he is gasping for air and keeps sinking to the bottom of the tank, sometimes laying on the gravel. our other clownfish seems to be acting okay right now but it looks like i can seem some small white flaky spots appearing. other fish (royal gramma, cardinal fish, yellow tang, coral beauty and a wrase) seem okay so far. we also have a cleaner shirmp. the sick clownfish looks like he might not make it through the night, but we'd like to keep the other fish healthy (and save him if we can).
ph, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia and salinity levels all seem fine.
we have not added any fish to the tank for many months, so it doesn't seem like it would be ich...
any ideas?
