Hoping someone can help me identify what caused this clown to pass. This is the second one that has gone in the past three days, unfortunately. I was able to get them out after my gramma began flashing and treat in QT. However, sadly both did not make it. It wasn't quick, such as noticing off behavior and dead the next day. They both began a bit of scratching. Did freshwater did and treated with Prazi over a period of two weeks per instructions. Swimming became lethargic and after that 24 hours both were dead two days apart. I didn't sit back and hope things would get better. I rushed to get medications, I treated in QT, did frantic water changes and testing. But, couldn't save them. The gramma who was the first to show signs of distress is still alive and eating well, although still flashing and my yellow watchman seem unaffected. Water parameters were 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 8-10 nitrate, 1.026 salinity and 78.8 degrees. Tank was up for nearly 5 months, no new additions for more than 2 months. I did have one day when i forgot to hit the fan before leaving for work and temp rose to 81.5 for a number of hours. Truly a sad day. I love this hobby and want the best for the fish. I did hours of research attempting to figure out how best to resolve the issue and sadly I either missed something or didnt do enough...
