pajama cardinal turning white

[sheepersheep]

one of my pajamas have started turning white but only on one side, he’s been sitting up in the corner by the power head and doesn’t seem too excited to eat or do anything else.

How fast has this change been?
Over night change makes me look at attack.

they only thing in my tank that is really aggressive are clownfish, but i feel like they’re too small to have caused something like this

With bloating, appears to be either injury, bacterial or both
If bloating is sudden, can be onset of constipation or infection
Was fish eating previous 48 hours?
Is breathing rate normal?

because there are 4 pajamas in the tank and i can’t tell them apart yet, i honestly don’t know if this specific one was eating in the past 48 hours,
and i think he is breathing quickly.

Breathing will be associated with stress as would injury and constipation contribute- yes
Are the scales in that area raised?

i don’t think so

Treatment recommendation is ruby rally pro in tank nut will take a couple of days to start working
More effective is seachem kanaplex which is absorbed by the fish and add aeration and done in a separate treatment tank

A cl

what would be the best solution if i don’t have a QT?

ear Rubbermaid tub or ruby rally pro bath for 60 minutes with aeration
A quarantine tank can be as simple as a used system from second hand store or a starter kit from Walmart which has most of the essentials needed

Do the other three show any interest in him?
What size is your system?
How long you had all 4?
Who was first, clown or card?

the other 3 don’t seem to interact at all with him rn,
it’s a 32 gallon tank, i’ve had the pajamas since last sunday, so 7 days.

the clowns were first, i’ll also say i have a pink bar goby, midas blenny, cleaner shrimp and a handful of snails and hermits
