Hello Guys!
Here to run my doubts through you:
Yesterday I picked up a Clown from the LFS near me. I had been going weekly to watch a brown little guy that I liked but ended up getting a regular colored one, which I didn't really had paid attention before for too long. As per arrival I did the floating method and the guy went into my tank and started eating pods and pretty much decimated them through the rest of the day, I also threw in some frozen shrimp which he eat, looking very active and alert.
Went to sleep, turned the light off, but when I woke up this morning, I turned the lights to check on him and saw my temp had dropped from 78 to 76 and he immediately after turning the lights left himself adrift until almost getting caught in the filter return cracks. that worried me so I turned the pump and power head off and then he just sank to the sandbed and stayed there for a while. decided to turn the powerhead and pump back on and he started to swim again after a couple minutes of laying on the sand. threw some shrimp but this time hes not eating them nor going after pods.
Params seem to be right, no Ammonia, Nitrite or Nitrate. I did noticed a spot on one of his white strips, I figure he was bitten by other fish as in the LFS he was living with two cardinals. But when trying to take a picture with the light off, the wound(?) does seem to have a blueish tone to it. Right now hes kind of swiming alright but tilts a little to the side and has not eaten since I/m up checking on him. After checking some threads online I dosed some Prime and also turned one of the return streams all the way up so it will break water surface to try and air the water.
I am attaching pictures and video from when he arrived and the ones I took just now. Help please!
