Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'm pleased to report that the clown is still doing great, I actually put it back into the main tank seven days ago and it's still looking well and happy. Once again, thanks for all the help, it's much appreciated.

Thanks for the advice, I've set up an airstone in the quarantine tank, it only had a protein skimmer in the main tank, seems to have made a difference.

The fish is looking better, colours are more vibrant, not gasping as much and swimming around, eating more now. Note the other clown never had ...

I gave the fish a treatment last night, protozoan for an hour in a separate bucket, and so far it seems a bit better.

It says it's safe for marine fish, but only in FOWLR systems. I'm pretty sure it's copper-free, I'll double-check when I get home.

I'm wrapping up the 5-day treatment, so I'll wait 48 hours and then do a 50% water change. I've heard of freshwater dips, but I'm not really sure what that's all about ...

Thanks for the reply, I did use a flash - Nikon D60, standard flash at full power.

I've isolated them in the quarantine tank as a precaution and started treatment with some meds. I'm hoping it's nothing serious, but I'd love to hear your thoughts - what do you think could be the issue here?

I've just taken some photos of my fish for the first time tonight, and this one picture has me a bit worried - is my fish unwell?

He's still eating fine and acting normally, and to be honest, he looks perfectly normal to the naked eye - I don't see any of the weird colours that show up in the photo ...

I'm curious about torch corals, they seem to thrive in high flow, but I'm also interested in hearing other suggestions for LPS that might do well in that spot.

It turns out my girlfriend is keen on a coflake beauty now, so I was wondering, how's their care?
