How long have you had the clowns? Have you added anything to the tank recently?

^^This. Also, any white dots or patches on the fish? And just to take environmental into consideration, can you do a quick ammonia check? How long has this tank been setup?

Ive added a new zoa wich crumble like half but half is heathy and its been up for almost 6 months or 7 and i already did ammonia and there was none i tested 3 times haha and no they have been in since the tank cycled and i couldnt find any flukes

 

[samdizshiz]

He did nip at a zoa that was floating around because it disintegrated. All the filter media smells like when u pull zoas out of the water. Could it be possible that he ingested some of the toxin?

 

[samdizshiz]

Somone plz help look at him

This is very possible, if he ingested some of the zoa he probably also ingested some of the toxin.

 

[samdizshiz]

So hes going to die ?

 

[michellejy]

Is he eating at all? It wouldn't hurt to add some vitamins to his food if he is. Vita Chem can even be added directly to the water itself.

 

[samdizshiz]

He died during the night

 

[michellejy]

To clarify, vita chem (or selcon) is not medicine obviously, but it might help him fight something off.

Sorry to hear that... [emoji17]
