1 clown dead need help

[FishypantsMitch]

I am new to this saltwater fish thing and I put two clowns in a fluval 13.5 and they were black and orange but are starting to turn white I’m not sure what happened to them. Also there is some brown stuff growing on my rock also not sure about that

Can you post params and how long ago did you add the clowns

I'm having trouble viewing photos but if a clown turns white and it looks like its kinda slimy it is probably is brook.

Here a thread for that. I recommend treatment as soon as possible on your other clown.

I would try to get a cheap 10 gallon tank to quarantine it

We have used freshwater dips along with Seachem Paraguard with success.

In the display tank?
Also if not can I add more fish into the tank or is it infected

 

[Brandon Smith]

My wife and I did the fresh water dips and some of the Paraguard treatments in 5 gallon buckets with an air stone. We did put them in a QT after that however. We have 16 pairs of clowns in a breeding system, so didn't want to risk infecting any of the others.

Although not recommended treatment, you may get away with PraziPro which is reef safe and actually work for me.

Do not add any more fish

 

[William Mumford]

I would check the parameters in the tank make sure you dont have any problems there. Do you use RO water or tap water??

 

[vetteguy53081]

Brown stuff is diatoms ( associated with a new/newer tank)

the tank has been up for 2 months I have been jawing rodi water and why can’t I add fish and also how long does the parasite last

Checked to day no3 is at 20 doing a water change now

 

[Brandon Smith]

I wouldn't suggest adding any fish until there isn't any more signs of infection. With the tank only being two months old, it is still maturing and may not of had enough beneficial bacteria to handle the bio load of the fish, which could have stressed your clowns out.
