Help!
Yesterday my black storm clownfish started acting sick.
Water is in correct parameters, 77 degrees

It’s Breathing very heavily and will swim eratically and then just sink and go on its side barely moving if at all.
No noticable spots or damage. Not getting bullied.

Have tried a fresh water bath and been given seachem metroplex yesterday.

Can you answer - how old, any other fish sick, any visible spots, how old is your tank, do you have your tank parameters - ammonia, etc

EDIT - did you quarantine the fish - with medication?
The possibilities could be velvet or brooklynella or something else
 
1 1/2 inch long
Only fish that appears sick
we started set up of tank end of October, got fish in December. No visible spots.
 
I accidentally had it listed as private try this one

as above the fish is moribund - for some reason it could be oxygen ammonia, or an illness or something else in you tank. First it would ensure oxygenation

EDIT I would ensure oxygenation

Your other thread has been answered. No need to cross post as it takes away from others who too are seeking answers to their issues.

When I posted the original post it never showed up on my end so I made another one. I don’t see where I can delete one.

No biggie. I saw two different threads and it often confuses others
