clown question

she still swims funny, still has bung eyes, still bangs into everything, doesn't eat but for some reason can swim like there's not tomorrow. I don't geddit :-?

She swims okay sometimes, when she decides to go deeper into the water, but she just likes to swim on top along the sides wobbling along on her side.

I borrowed a guppy breeding net from a friend so will put her in that during feeding time. Hope she gets better!!

Thanks for your concern guys/girls really appreciate it

I would give the fish a freshwater dip as it might have some pariste.

Place the fish for 5mins in a bowl of fresh water, make sure the ph is the same and the temp.

also add a cup of your tank water into the bowl.

The fish might not make it but i dont think it will be around for long anyway by the sound of things,

Not sure how old your tank is but have you checked your nitrite levels.

Have you added any rock (base rock) to the tank lately.

It was cycling for about two months before I put any fish in, no new stuff apart from the fish. I just did a water check, everything is pretty much spot on. The whole range, nitrate nitrite ammonia ph alk and... i think that's all? Maybe I'll bring some water into organism tomorrow and ask him to test with his kit, need to get some new salt anyway.

Is there any chance the other clown or the six line may be bashing it, sounds strange that it got sick as soon as it hit the water..

Was it looking ok at the shop

Nope, the wrasse stays away from the clowns and gets a bashing from the other clown if he comes too close. The other clown rubs himself against the sick one sometimes but no he generally doesn't bother her.
