I have a clown that I just got 2 days ago that isnt eating and breathing a bit fast. I did a 5 min freshwater bath on him but that did not seam to help much if at all. I know of most diseases and to me he does not look to have anything but I could be wrong. I have the little guy in a 2.5g picotope with the pico filter (with nothing in it) and an airstone atm treating him with some para guard by seachem.
I was wondering if anyone has had something like this go on? Maybe you know something that I dont and can shine a light on things. I have tried feeding him frozen brine/mysis, live adult and baby brine, omega one flakes, arcti pods, tried some coral frenzy for the rods and pods, even tried giving him nori. Nothing....tried soaking the food in garlic....nothing. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I have tried just about everything I can think of.

Day 3 of Para Guard Treatment
Breathing is a bit better. Almost normal. Fins still a little frayed but not getting worse. He is not losing any skin or scales, I do not see any mucus on him, his gills are not as inflamed, and he is swimming around in what I call "night mode" which is more normal then before. Fish has been with me 4 days.

Day 4 of Para Guard Treatment
Breathing is close to normal. His fins are still frayed. When I turn the light on he swims around the middle of the tank. Lights off he does just like my other Perc does at night. He goes to the top corner. I did see him take a mouth full of coral frenzy today but that is all I have seen him eat in 4-5 days. Not really sure if he even ate it or not. Para Guard looks to be working. Tried to order Formalin but was told it is no longer available for sale.
