Platinum clown not looking so good.

jake_francis · Nov 30, 2015

I have a platinum clown for about at year now. It has paired with a true percula clown. I noticed today that he is just mouthing. Its mouth is always open. It didn't eat when I feed it. All the fish int he tank are doing well (yellow tang, melanarus tang, yellow goby, diabmond goby, and hawk fish).

Is my platinum clown dying?

It could have picked up a bug or virus. Too many variables, does he look different, as in spots or discoloration? Is he pooping long white stringy things? Pics/video might help.

Does it look like its having trouble breathing? Are its lips white? Also read it could have a condition of jaw hyper extension and there's a 50/50 chance of surviving if you do nothing IF it's still eating, Not eating is a bad sign.

Could also be stress from another recent addition that didn't get along?

Unfortunately, I came home today and my platinum clown is missing. I am guessing that it had died.&#55357;&#56862;
