My clownfish is swimming weird

[mitchell01]

dose the furan2 every other day after a water change. Keep doing that for a minimum of 10 days. It looks like there is a slight infection on the fins there. The furan should help clear that up.

Is there any other way to curve the swim bladder problem I am feeding peas she ate two small pieces but she looks like she can't keep up wright going side ways and all that jazz thanks in advance.

It's one of those things that either clear up or don't. The peas won't help with swim bladder, they are great for constipation though and they won't hurt the fish. The antibiotics may help some, but I make no promises. If it was obvious enough to see a bulge and you have a steady hand, then you could try to perform "surgery" to pull the air out of the swim bladder with a needle. There is a sticky with a video explaining how to do that.

Epsom salt is another thing that won't hurt to try, but isn't likely to help much. Epsom salt is used to help with swelling such as with pop-eye. Again, this won't hurt to try and could, maybe, help..... maybe

Ok what is the dose for a 10 gallon and is it compatible with the furan

Yes, you can do this at the same time as the furan.

Epsom Salt: Treats eye and other injuries. Popeye in one eye usually means injury, but popeye in both eyes usually denotes a bacterial infection requiring antibiotic treatment. Cloudy eye can be a bacterial infection or flukes.

How To Treat - 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of aquarium water. Repeat only once, if necessary. Use only “USP” grade Epsom salt.

Pros - Reef safe, as Epsom salt is just magnesium sulfate.

Cons/Side Effects - The effects of excessive sulfate in a reef aquarium are not fully known.

I'm sorry for your loss . . .

Did you check under things? Even things you wouldn't think she could get under?

Do you have pets? (I had a jumper Midas blenny get slurped up by one of my son's dogs once . . . )
