Clown with possible ich

[deedubz]

I do see the spot. It actually looks like there could be one above her right pectoral fin and one directly under her right eye, unless that's an optical illusion. Can you see them in person?

I think the other two you see might be pods on the glass. I don’t see any additional ones on her or the male clown.

Awesome. Then I'd just observe them for now. Watch for any physical or behavioral symptoms

Should I increase my feeding as long as they are eating so they have energy to fight whatever it is?

 

[deedubz]

Yes. I'd recommend feeding vitamin enriched foods daily. I like selcon. I typically feed breakfast with selcon and dinner without.

That spot doesn't scream anything in particular to me. It may just be lymph. Continue to keep an eye on it and definitely update the thread if more pop up or the fish start acting strange

 

[Bill_Moorman]

No changes as of today. Spot is still on there but no change in behavior or appetite.

I was thinking about doing a freshwater dip.

Any thoughts?

Update:

Spot is no longer there. Missy is swimming fine, not breathing heavy, and is eating.

I’ll keep monitoring for ich, just in case it was and just dropped off to multiply.

I’ve got cupermine and prazi ready to go for treatment in a QT if needed.

How're the clowns doing?

As of last night they are doing totally fine. Been feeding them a rotation of pellets, flakes, and Mysis all soaked in selcon and they have been eating like pigs!

Hoping they say that way!

Glad to hear. I'm hoping so too!
