Clownfish disease?

[prasad]

Hi All. I just started a 5g tank with a pair of 2 month old oscellaris clowns. I bought a cycled tank with the filter, cooling fan and led light set up. It's been 3 days now and the less dominant clown hasnt tried to eat. It spends it's time at the bottom of the tank breathing heavily secreting a white strand poop. Is this a disease?

The other clown is eating well and has stopped confronting the less dominant clown. They spend most of the time at the same spot of the tank.

Did you do your water test? Esp amonia level?

[prasad]

Ammonia 3.0 ppm

Nitrate 10.0 ppm

The clown died today. Any advice on what I can do to lower the ammonia and nitrate levels? Really hope the remaining clown makes it

Bring it to my tank. Haha.

Sorry for your lost, bro.

I am afraid these parameters doesn't sound as a cycled tank...

I think you need to make sure both Ammonia and Nitrate at 0.00 ppm before you put the live stocks in the tanks. Best to separate the remaining fishes until the tank is fully cycled

Clown fish are actually very prone to white spot and brooklynella when the tank is new. Let the tank settle down for a while longer. Did both clown die or just one?
