Do you have a pic

We're gonna need a clear picture with some symptoms to make any headway. Try to take the picture with your white lights on only.

Those were the best pics I could take. Symptom are white dot but they look too small to be ick and what seems like heavier breathing.

Got gave use more to go on.

Did you test your water perimeters.When did it start.

 

[Kaz Reefer 57]

It started yesterday. Water parameters were great . Don't know why this happened

 

[nautical_nathaniel]

Looks like a few different things going on there. Is the fish eating at all?

Did you add any fish in the last week.Any water changes.Is he still eating.

 

[Kaz Reefer 57]

 

[Kaz Reefer 57]

He is eating. Have not added fish in 2 weeks and he was the fish I add. Before then there were 2 clowns.

Are you able to set up a hospital tank? What sort of treatment options do you have ready?

Judging from what looks like damage on the fins it looks like a bacterial infection.

I'm also seeing some white spots. That, with the combination of the dead clownfish makes me believe that Marine Velvet is the root cause.

Do you have a QT/hospital tank you can set him up in?

 

[Brew12]

I highly recommend reading this. Hopefully you will have some of the meds you need on hand.

I agree with Brew.If you can put in a QT tank.Its good he is eating.

Only medication I have is melafix and pimafix and have been dosing it for 2 days. I have an extra 10 gallon tank. Can I use that as a hospital tank and how should I set up.

That would be perfect.
Here is some good reading for you.

Bottom line, you need the tank, a heater, and a filter (I use HOB filters but sponge filters work). If you use a sponge filter you will want additional flow from a small powerhead. I find that an oversized HOB filter works best and provides enough flow for the fish. A Seachem ammonia alert badge is also very useful since medications can cause innacurate ammonia test readings.

Should I get some Super Ick cure by API from my petoc to use bc the melafix and pimafix are not really doing much.

 

[ecdragonz]

If it’s a bacterial infection you will need an antibiotic.they should have that there to.
