Clown fish about to die????

Is my clownfish dying? He didn't eat today and Now he is swiming weird... He sort of goes belly up and then turns around. More like swiming in a vertical circle. Is he dying????? I don't know what's going on.....

 

Can't take pics right now and I'm afrai it will be to late tomorrow.

its doesnt sound to good to me if he is going belly up and then righting itself, thats sometimes swim bladder problem

but please give more details about your set up, as per form below

also stray voltage can have an effect on the way fish behave - so maybe unplug 1 piece of electrical equipement and check the fishes reaction to that

Goodness. Good luck with him.
Like Steve said, please fill out that form so we can see if there is something that can be suggested to help.

 

Hi guys... Well he is gone.
I haven't been able to take him out of the water since i saw him before going to school and didn't have time to do so. My cleaner shrimp was picking at him..... Gosh that's sad.

 

Sorry for your loss I had a chromis do that about 5 months ago...weirdest thing...he was fine...and out of no where started doing what your clown did..i QT him and in a matter of 3hrs he was dead...but this was just a green chromis...hate hearing about fish dying.. was he the only fish in the tank? If so I'd make sure i find the problem before restocking....in my case all the other fish in the reef were fine

 

He was with a goby. The goby seems fine. ( haven't seen him today since I'm at school)
