Hi Jemma, I'm not really an expert, but would suggest a couple of things... Firstly, I'm not really a fan of "quick test" strips, I find them less accurate (or at least, less able to detect small concentrations) than the admittedly more complicated test kits. Can you post your water parameters? Seco...

An update...
Hi all, Just a quick update.... unfortunately the second sick clown didn't make it, despite putting up a good fight. All the anti-bacterial meds just weren't enough to save him. The good news is that the medications (Interpet no. 8 and Melafix) seem to have helped halt the problem in my main tank. I...

Hi, Internet search isn't really turning up the ingredients for Interpet 8 & 9 but there's probably no reason you can't use both. Once you start, don't stop until the fish are dead or recover. The worst thing to do is to try an antibiotic (I'm assuming they're antibiotics) for one day and not notice...

Worried now...
I'm afraid it gets worse. The infection has spread to one of my existing clowns (about 3.5"). He/she is sitting under some bogwood with a third of it's tail in tatters, and has stopped eating. This one is far from skinny. A betta and a danio have died - though with far fewer external symptoms. I've ...

Thanks all...
... unfortunately, the poor thing didn't make it through the night. The infection spread incredibly quickly. Makes me pretty gutted I didn't catch it earlier, by the time I managed to get anti-bacterial medication in with him it was too late. :( His tankmates are all doing well, including the two cl...

Some photos
Looking at these, I'm confused even further! This is the clown in the hospital tank, sitting curled up and unstable, completely ignoring catfish pellets. Anyway, the good news is that my vets also treat farm animals, and have ordered some Levasole (Levamisole HCL) for me that's due in tomorrow. Hope...

Hi Emma, Thanks for the quick reply. His breathing seems OK in comparison with the others, but he's just very lethargic, not eating, and resting in odd positions. Odd even for clowns - I mean propped up on one fin at 45 degrees, for example. I couldn't say if he looked OK in the shop - they had thre...

Sick clown - what else can I do?
Hi all, Long time lurker, first time poster - have learned a lot from you all over the past year! But on to my reason for posting... I brought home 3 clowns from my local Maidenhead Aquatics on Sunday, and one of them doesn't look good at all :-( It's not eating, quite skinny, clamped dorsal fin, fr...
