Hi all, my two oscelaris clowns have died rather suddenly.
first one yesterday pm and the other this morning.
They were a little on the thin side and not eating alot. I was given frozen mix and Tetra freshwater granules for feeding from LFS.
Both clowns were very small and did not eat the granules,but did get a little of the frozen in.
They're difficult to feed as the food hits bottom before they get it, after which they leave it.
I did syphon detritus off the bottom on Sun and did 20% water change due to this.
Tank is new - 3 weeks. But have no problems to date and the Maroon clown and cleaner schrimps are fine.
Running a Tetra 700l/h cannister and also built-in filter.
Been taking water samples through to LFS and tests came back as fine (not sure which tests were done).
The clowns were acting strange in that they were swimming vertically and breathing quickly and heavily.
There were no signs of any disease on their skins.
Last night I tried to feed again and the oscelaris would not eat at all, swam through the food. Maroon still feeding fine.This morning dead.
The Maroon was not looking good this morning and appears to be breathing heavily as well.
What do I do?
Any suggestions?
Called LFS and they said to treat for odenium.
