    I have read before that too many bubbles shooting around like that can give the fish heck. Can cause pop-eye and damage to their gills....I will have to see if I can find that again. I have an air stone in mine, but not shooting bubble all around the tank. As far as the fish goes, I have no idea...how old are they?

    Air stone at any pet store...total cost, probably less than a dollar!! You will need an air pump though to run it...again, not very much, small one should do for your HT.

    Have you tried garlic extract drops, they can stimulate appetite? I had a foxface that stopped eating and got really thin, had him in QT for a week and still wouldn't eat. I bought a bottle of garlic extract, and added a few drops 5 mins before trying to feed and bam ate like a monster after (put back in DT a week later...no more problems)!! Garlic is supposed to be a real good natural anti-biotic of sorts too...may help with whatever ails them. LFS should have it, I use Kent brand.

    He died last night. I foud my other clown fish with some purpleish spot on his white stripe. I'm worried he won't make it either. I heard something about voltage is there a way to make something to reduce it?? Home made? I can't get to my lfs till next week and idk if he has one.
