I will see when they go on sale again here. because atm $29.99 for one is not in my budget at all. and it has to be the same nemo cannot mix.

what type of clown fish do you have? and- dont give up yet. on the web it says that locked jaws are usually hard to treat because fish smaller than 2ft are hard to operate on and hard to diagnose because everything is so small and fragile . hopefully it has an injury rather than a disease which may spread to your other fish, but give him a chance.

no of course, i will let him be untill he goes. he's an a. ocellaris clownfish.

I've lost harlequins to opens mouths.
All the other fish in the tank were fine. No deaths from the samething.

the little guy is still alive. but i did some inspecting. he is swiming very rapidly like a panic and his gills are red. i believe he has what is called Gill Disease as there are no other signs of anything else. i placed him under a brighter light and that is how i found this out. his gills are red and have like lines, and yes they are inflamed. i'am going to be treating the entire tank.

Bless him.
Good Luck.

I got some medication it's for salt and fresh water aquariums called, API E.M. ERYTHROMYCIN FISH MEDICATION. When i put the meds in he was slightly disturbed and kind of scooting back and forth, i guess it bothered him a tad. Started meds this afternoon and i will keep you updated how it goes. Thanks again.
