Clownfish swimming at top

[radreef02]

Clownfish heavy breathing.
1year old , never had an issue

Ph 8.15 & ammonia 0

What is causing this ?

There is an unusual mark on its side. All I’ve added is a torch and hammer and some SPS

They're clowns, sometimes they just do weird things, maybe he got stung by one of the corals and is just having a bad reaction, remember they have to build up the immunity to the sting, mine acted similarly when starting to host in my frogspawn

He definitely isn’t doing great. He seems exhausted. Anyone think it’s swim bladder ?

He’s never had those black marks on his side so maybe it is a sting. The torch is pretty big

ah yeah, hard to see the black marks but definitely could be. swim bladder issue is also possible

Any remedies if it is swim bladder

API general cure I believe, also, iirc feeding them peas is supposed to help

Back to normal lol. That scared me because he was constantly popping the top. Must of been a sting



Also , the tank isn’t new . I just had a tank transfer a week ago so I cleaned the entire tank and did new sand(I did wait 2days before putting anything in). If someone was wondering if I had a random spike that went unnoticed
