so I’ve had this clownfish now for 30 days
When the pair came in they both had flared gills
only the male which is in the video breathes heavy
The female clownfish breathes just fine :)

But ever since the first couple of days with this clownfish I’ve observed the chin and mouth moving constantly. Can’t say it’s any worse orbetter . It’s just stayed the same. Mouth opening s little bit and chin pulsating

Is this causes by flared gill which causes it harder for the clownfish to breathe more naturally? Or something like gill flukes ?

I have done a lot of med treatment over the past month
30 days of kannaplex metroplex focus
Prazi pro 3 x

I have not done a fresh water dip . Is this what you all would recommend just to find out if anything falls out ?
There are no visible signs of flukes on the skin or on any of the clownfish in the tank

I attached a link to the video of you could please watch :-0 you can seee the clownfish Louth opening and closing st s rather relativity quick rate which no other clownfish of mine has ever done

Just did a fresh water dip to no luck of flukes

Do you guys think the clownfish has pretty bad flared gills he has to breathe out of mouth ? Is this possible ?

If flukes are not present I would treat for ich/velvet.

I dont really know what you mean by him having flared gills, I couldn't make out much from the video.
 
Man I just can figure this one out !
I just dosed CP btw . But both of my fish are not using there pelvic fins anymore ? They are completely clamped up

Looking like they getting skinnier 2?
