Help! Clown Fish Dieing!

[Bomber]

i came down stairs today and turned on my tank lights.. i was looking around and only saw one clown.. i though hum..were did the other go? i couldn't find him anywhater..then all of a sudden he came out from under a rock, very pale and swimming very bad kinda roling and fliping around, he was also breathing very hard? i checked my tank and everything is fine.. does anyone know whats wrong with him??

thanks

Do you have any pictures? Is his skin discolored (besides being pale) any spots, etc.? Is he still acting this way? Do you have some place to put him in case he does have a disease, so that all of the other fish don't get it?

What size tank is it in? What are the other tank inhabitants? What are your actual test readings? How long have you had the fish? Any new additions?

thanks guys..but sadly he died

to answer a few of your questions.. there were only 2 cleaner chrimp, some snails, crabs, and a bubble tip nem in with the clowns!
I have a 77gl bowfront tank with 80 pounds of LR
I had the clowns for about 3 weeks..

i talked to one of my lfs (my regular fish store) and he told me it was mostlikely cyanide posing.. you can find out what this is on the neet.. it's a horbal thing..
