Holes in ClownFish Gill

FirstTry2017 · May 21, 2018

Hello,
My 1.5 year old female clown fish has 2 small holes in her left gill and rapid breathing. All of the other fish/corals in the tank are completely fine. We did do a 5 min fresh water dip on her last night but it didn’t seem to do anything for her. She has no other marks or visible parasites on her. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

I'm thinking you'll want to treat for infection in a QT, at least. Could you provide more info on what's in the tank to help determine what might have caused this?

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately she died last night . We have another ClownFish (her mate) 4 green blue chromis, and a tomini tang. Cleaning crew is some crabs, different snails, and one emerald crab. We did set up a QT tank and tried to treat her but maybe the stress of all of that was to much for her.
