Hi,

I have had two clowns for about a year now. Tank parameters are right wheee they should be.

Parameters
Temp 79f
Salinity 1.023
Ph 8
Dkh 8
Nh3 0
No2 0
No3 5

this last month she started showing some small pimples on her body and didn’t seem to phase her. Today I came home from work and she’s swimming very oddly, in a jerking circle motion.

They were the first fish in my tank from about a year ago. The fish store I got them from quarantine all my fish for me.

Probably a swim bladder disorder. These can be difficult to cure.
Giving the fish a 60 minute bath in methylene blue sometimes helps these fish.


The spots may be flukes. A freshwater dip will either confirm or eliminate flukes as the cause of the spotting.
