Is something wrong with my clown???

[westmipost]

Currently 1 week into QT, treating with Copper Power and Nitrofurazone. She has been acting a fool since yesterday. She looks 100% as far as body goes. Smaller male is acting as normal. Anyone recognize this behavior? Salinity, temp and PH is good. Copper around 2.3.

Adding the video again, can’t tell if it posted. I’ll also mention, I was zoomed in from the kitchen, I didn’t want her demeanor to change when I walked in the room.

Im not a fan of mixing meds and Nitro should have been dosed at 10 mg per gal when added. Add oxygen with air stone especially when mixing meds.

We do have an air stone in the back corner. Went this route following the BRS QT method. I'm not sure how to get the video to post. GAHH

I am able to see this video. Its a clown being a clown and I believe as they often do, playing with its reflection. It appears (could be wrong), the water flow may be a little much as the dark one seems to be resisting current as it swims

What is the ammonia level?

Is the clown eating well?

Haven't tested ammonia today but should be low, water change last night. She's been picky with the mysis but they both have been. Eating pellets and brine just fine. The video not working is unfortunate. But she darts around the tank, face first in the corners and she keeps swimming circles around the temp probe. The swimming seems erratic.

I appreciate the response, so glad you can see the video! We've got 1 more week in the QT tank and then they'll move to the biocube (Waterbox is on the way, 60 Gallon display). The flow is just from the filter/pump, you think she'll be ok for the week? This behavior has only taken place since yesterday. Been in the QT tank for 3 weeks, treatment for the last week.

if eating and breathing normal and no skin issues, finish the QT period

Double check the ammonia, you need to rule that out. Is it breathing fast?
