Clown Fish Sick

[jvaughan1355]

Hey everyone my 5 year old clown has been struggling the past 24 hours. The male is beating her up pretty bad and she seems sick. White spots all over and fins are pretty torn up. Also has swelling in belly towards head. I’ve got her separated at the moment in a box. Looking for some advice on what to do. Thanks in advance

Clown appears to be a victim of aggression also having a few bumps and scrapes. You can treat with ruby rally pro to aid with healing and also identify the culprit before re-releasing the fish back into the display tank. Isolate the culprit when you find who it is

Thanks it’s the other male clown fish that’s doing the attacking. I swapped him. He’s in the box now and will be spending the night in there.

Over night won't be long enough. Give it a couple weeks.

I’ve got another small tank that only has 2 clownfish in there. Would you think it could work to remove completely and put in that tank or keep in the box in the original tank. (The aggressive one)

Can't mix 3 clowns together. Acclimation box is still your best bet.
