YesterdayI noticed my Clarkii clown is swimming really bad and breathing heavy. She keeps running into things, and can't seem to keep her body where she wants. Her abdomen looks very inflated, like she's bloated or has bad gas. I think I may have over fed the tank on Sunday, could that do it? I fed the fish, then later in the evening my sun coral polyps were way out so I fed that too. She got a bunch of leftovers from that also. So, will she pull through after she passes her major stomach ache, is she a gonner, or is there something I should try to do to help her? I already reduced flow in the tank to help her not expend as much energy to stabilize herself.

Thoughts?

Perhaps an internal parasite?

I, unfortunately, do not know very much information on internal parasites in fish. But hopefully, this will start others thinking critically.

Sorry to hear about your clarkii. They really are beautiful clowns. :(
