Help!! on clown fish

[stevenchia]

Help, anyone can cure a clown fish suddenly sick and not eating.

Notice got a long white poo.

Any immediate cure?

Looks like diarrhea?

Normally fish with same symptom doesnt last long.

If fish is new, could be due to stress. Lessen stress.

If it is established, could be internal parasites. Praziquental is the cure.

Sometimes is the source where you get from and also the type of species.

I think percular clown fish are quite easy and tomato clown.

And this type of clown which i attach, personally i think is more prone to disease.

My 2 cents.

This is what i have observe during shipment arrival, most of them always have white spot, fin rot, swimming unbalanced or look very stress.

Observation and patience is also the key to success.

Hope you find a good one.

Color is still morphing.

Still feeding them hard to gain their body mass.

TOMATO CLOWN (Amphiprion frenatus) The Tomato Clownfish is also found throughout the Pacific in association with the Bubbletip Sea Anemone. This clownfish has also been known to use coral in the absence of a host anemone. Another hardy clownfish that can attain a length of 5” in nature. Characteristics are one white vertical stripe behind the eye. Another clownfish that can be territorial and aggressive with other members of its own kind

PINK SKUNK CLOWN (Amphiprion perideraion) This Clownfish is peach/orange in color and has one white stripe running the entire length of its head and back. Another stripe is located behind the eyes. They can be semi-aggressive toward their own kind and are easily intimidated by rowdy tank mates. They can attain a length of 4” in nature

MAROON CLOWN (Premnas biaculatus) Known also as the Spine-Cheeked Anemonefish, it has a bold, red body color with a wide stripe on the forehead and white midsection stripes. The Maroon Clown can attain a length of 6” in nature. Another clownfish that is aggressive toward other clownfish and, unless you obtain a mated pair, are difficult to maintain sharing the same aquarium. Care must be taken when moving this fish as the cheek spines easily become tangled in mesh nets. Plastic perforated nets are recommended.

Clark's Clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii) Clark's Clownfish, also known as the Clarkii Clown, is brown with wide white stripes and an orange head. The ###### fin is yellow and has a white to yellow tail and can attain a length of 6” in nature. These fish can be aggressive toward one another unless they are a mated pair. Another hardy and easy to keep clownfish. This fish is often misidentified as the Sebae clown, which is actually another species.

False Percula Clown (Amphiprion ocellaris) and Percula Clown (Amphiprion percula) A. ocellaris is the most commonly kept clownfish and is found associating with anemones throughout the Indo-Pacific. In nature they can attain a length of up to 3.2” but rarely exceed 2” in our captive systems. These two fish are very similar and are sometimes mistaken for each other. The color patterns are similar but A. Percula is not as bright orange. The black outlines on white are also thinner on the Ocellaris when compared to the Percula. The Ocellaris is hardier than the Percula.Ocellaris clowns are much more common and less expensive than Perculas.
