To be honest it doesn’t look like there’s anything in his actual skin and he hasn’t showed any symptoms in 3 days. No gasping or rubbing and eating great I’m super confused what is actually going on?
Is it okay to leave a little? I don’t want to pull that much since there some nitrifying bacteria in right
Thats up to you
Sorry, I thought you said something about a white flake on its skin?
Yes there were flakes I wish I would have taken a pic but I did not. When my clownfish died there were flakes on his body and he was at the top gasping for air which was when I noticed his cloudy eyes too. I noticed at the end of the day and by morning the clownfish died. As of right now there is nothing on the gramma but on wed I saw the first time he attempted to rub on a piece of rock . Unless maybe the parasite was removed when the clownfish died? Could that be a possibility?
I think I might just set up a qt tank and cycle it. If he shows any symptoms I’ll move him over there I’m being completely honest he’s eating really well and it seems like he’s normal. It’s just the random death of my clown that’s throwing me off. Is it maybe possible that he developed some sort of immunity to the parasite?
No, immunity doesn’t really work like that in fish, something else is going on.
In cases like this, assume all fish have something or have caught something. Its rare that a tankmate is exempt. You made a good decision to go with quarantine- Use it to your advantage
Have you by chance ever heard of something like this? It’s my first time ever trying to treat any sort of illness since it’s my first time trying saltwater fish. I don’t have much experience and to me this is getting really confusing
I think qt is the best thing but now I fear to hurt it more than help. If it has nothing I could just hurt him but then if he does I could help but he’s not showing any signs of needing help even though he was with a fish that died in lass than a day I am struggling to decide what to do next
