My clownfish are not doing well they both stopped eating a week ago and now my male has fin rot. I am going to qt my male what should I teat him with? How do I get them to eat?
 
Have you tried soaking the food in garlic juice? You could also pick up some live brine from your LFS, not the most nutritious food but they might go for it better.
 
They don't eat anything I tried garlic and Selcon. The thing is I have tangs and lots of coral so if it is bad water shout it affected them first? Do you recommend a medication.
 
I'll be honest, I am not the one to get medication/disease advice from. That is not my strong suit. I'm guessing the other fish are fine? Sometimes labored breathing is a sign of not enough oxygen in the water.
 
I have a air bubbler in the sump and lots of water movement on top.
 
My female has a orange bulb on her belly I don't know if it is a egg laying organ or something bad. She is supposed to lay eggs but she did not.

I think the black one has an infection of some sort. I would QT, and treat with a broad spectrum antibiotic such as Kanaplex or Furan-2. How long have you had these clownfish?
 
I have had them for a year and the previous owner had them for a while
