    A. Little over a month ago I got 2 false clowns! Orange and white! All was well for about 3 days then the black guy stopped eating and got white stringy poop! 2 days later he was dead!

    So I waited about 3 weeks and watched my other fish! Alls good even the other clown! So I went and got another black about a week ago and all was well! Now today not eating and white stringy poop! Not moving much! I'd hate to lose him, he's got a great personality!

    Water params are normal! Maybe a hint of nitrate! 76

    Ok! It looks like there's something fouling up his mouth!? I did a formalin dip, then let him rest in a tank water bath, then did a freshwater dip! Now he's in a hospital tank I set up with instant ocean lifeguard! A broad range treatment! Any thoughts?
