Hello,
Im new to saltwater tanks. I recently set up a Red Sea max nano. Started with a mocha Vinci clown who has been doing great for 6 weeks. Added in another clown, within a day the new clown stopped eating and started breathing heavy. The next day, the mocha was acting funny, day after that heavy breathing and not eating. No spots or anything like that on skin, did notice long stringy white poop. Water levels all good, also have a few other fish and cleaner shrimp all doing great.
Talked to LFS and based their recommendations, set up a small QT, did a dip in rid-ich plus, added rid-ich to QT as well, added cupramine and then put both fish in QT. The new clown died a few hours later. Mocha is still acting weird but is not eating and swims up at the top of the tank at an upward angle, constantly.
Talked to LFS again, they recommend a freshwater dip and then treat QT with Rid-Ich again.
I haven’t seen mocha get better, but also seems he is not getting worse. I attached a picture, you can actually see the white poop.
Question is, I don’t exactly know what is wrong with him, how long do I keep doing this before I try something else? I also have parazipro, but haven’t used yet.
Thanks in advance.
