My beautiful girl is dying. Yesterday I found her floating around at weird angles, unable to swim or eat. I checked the water parameters and dosed with Prime, and put in a few shelled peas. Today she's at the surface with laboured breathing and extended ocular spike.

I noticed something on her underside that I'm hoping will help diagnose what has undone her, to prevent any of the other clowns falling victim (6 other buddies in the tank). Yesterday it looked kind of like an egg stuck, but today it looks bleeding/fleshy.

omw! so sorry

If they can't help you they might know someone who can.


I had a couple Oscars succumb to some kind of intestinal blockage over the years. Usually after an episode of exuberant pellet consumption. I never figured out what the cause was but I suspect intestinal parasites.
