    well he is hanging at the top of the tank... which made me think ammonia, but my tests read .25 or 0. most of the time. ( this is a QT tank BTW.)

    0.25 for a clown doesn't seem too bad as they are hardy, but hanging at the top and inflamed gills are symptoms of ammonia poisoning. Also, gill parasites can cause inflamed gills. Sorry I can't be of much help!! Hopefully someone who knows more will answer and I hope you get it figured out. Good luck!

    I would think that if the other fish are fine it probably isn't ammonia, because clownfish are hardy...google gill parasite symptoms and see if any of those symptoms fit.
