Jeez, I dunno! I've seen my clown in the past do some crazy stuff when she got ich, but that was more along the lines of "itching" on a rock. Never seen one do that in mid-water. I will be curious to see if anyone else has seen this behavior.

 

Do you dose vodka? lol jk. That is odd. Is he eating well? Any other little quirks? Sometimes clownfish are very strange and comical, it could be nothing. Maybe someone else will have some more experience on this.

 

this is going on now for a few days in the beginning he ate only when food past him by but now he stopped eating.

 

Uh oh, that is not a good sign. I would try enticing him to eat by using Garlic (if you haven't already). I'd also try soaking the food in Selcon to give him some healthy vitamins 'n stuff. That may help him fight off anything.

Also, since he has stopped eating, you may want to post a thread to the ASAP forum to see if anyone else can help. Wish I could offer more, but good luck!

 

At first I just thought he was doing the native bone dance. But after watching it definitely appears sick. His fins are cloudy and ragged at the edge.Could be a number of diseases but it seems to be affecting its swim bladder.

Thanks. Im thinking of putting him in my qt but my problem is that i don't know how and with what to treat him that's the sad part??!!

 

Would it be possible he is having a seizure? I have no idea how you could tell if that was the case but its almost as if he is seizing and being blown around by the currents in the tank?

 

I doubt this is it, but do you have a grounding rod?

 

no i don't
