Make clownfish acting crazy

[alyssag122]

hi, i’ve had my tank running for 3 months now and i have been performing 10%-15% water changes every 10 days, a few days ago i had a nitrite and nitrate spike and i don’t know what from, my params were pretty stable up until then, even after i added a few coral frags. the only thing i can think of is a dead crab or something i have dosed my water w prime and it’s been working. today my nitrites were 0 and my nitrates were at 18, i like to keep mine under 10. to help this is did a 25% water change and rinsed our the filter and media in old tank water. about 3 hours after the water change i here some tapping on the glass from across the room, my clownfish is ramming into the glass and twitching. i’ve seen him twitch w the female in the tank but this was different, he was swimming erratically, seems to be breathing faster than normal, and won’t stop twitching. i don’t know if this has something to do w the water change but i’ve never seen him like this and i don’t know what to do. the other clown is acting completely normal. the video i attached isn’t as bad as it currently is but it’s the best i could get

Can you link the video somewhere? Probably not showing for people. Including me.

Can you catch the clown and give it a freshwater dip? Sometimes flukes within the gills will spasm causing the fish to twitch and jerk, an most importantly the spasm can interfere with the fish's ability to breathe.

Freshwater Dip
