Clownfish has ich?….

[MnFish1]

Clownfish is still alive but hiding very far out of sight.. tho I checked him out for a while & he doesn’t seem to have alot or any white spots, lets hope it keeps this way… he pooped so that’s that aswell

Just to remind you (I'm sure you're aware) - one of the hallmarks of ich is the coming and going. Please make sure to report if the spots return!!

Yeah, i’m aware that’s why i’m not cheering yet.
I hope he comes a little more out of hiding so i can examine him better.

I like to update this post daily for educational purposes.

Thanks - and - the updates are much appreciated - I posted more for others who may have not known!!!!. I meant to mention - you had said that he seemed to do better 'in the dark'. I wonder if you lowered the light more in your tank - it won't hurt - and may get him out more.

Yes, he came out when the lights are off 2 times now but when we go to sleep & total blackout happens then he hides again.
My girlfriend monitored him during the day yesterday & he was out exploring more.

But today we haven’t seen him alot yet.
But then again, clownfish are weird, he might be hosting that spot for some reason?

Also, he is pooping white stringy poop, probably because he is not eating…

Correct. The not eating is the most worrisome thing to me. Suggesting that the fish is more ill than obvious. It's hard - because I know your limitations, but I also know - the treatment here - and the 'thing' thats likely to save your fish is treatment for its disease.

The fish has died, i have put it out of its misery.

When i just checked the tank it was almost laying on the sand bed, breathing heavily & had some sort of tissue build up on its head.

I couldn’t risk it dying in my tank overnight so i did what i had to do.

I added a picture for educational purposes.

Guess my tank is going fallow but i would like to make it a coral tank first, if i add corals & start counting the fallow period the moment after i add my last coral. Does that work?

Do i need to ghost feed while keeping my tank fallow or how does it work exactly?

you don't NEED to ghost feed (unless dictated by levels), you can add corals starting the fallow period thereafter. You can feed your corals though - which will basically act as ghost feeding. If, for example your nitrate or Po4 were 0 - you may want to consider feeding more.

I understand, thanks.
