I recentyl paired 2 maroon clowns but now they seem sick or something

[Jasonny5895]

I recently paired an existing female clown with a new male. It took about three days and now there together ant the females anemone. However they seem to be lethargic now, with white blotchy discolorations on their skin. The male realy isnt eating well and the female doesnt seem to be as aggresivlt eating either. SHould I treat them with formalin or just let them do there thing?

You should try determining what ailment exists and treat both in a separate quarantine tank for it.

How long was the male in a separate quarantine tank before you attempted to pair the clowns?

Aren't you the one who lost 7 fish about a month ago? Does it look like the same thing that happened to the others? If so, it could be that you never fixed whatever problem you originally had.

Did you ever determine what the problem was with the fish? Why would you add new fish so soon? Did you QT the other fish? Did you QT this new fish?

Stop killing fish and figure out what the problem is.

I waited 6 weeks before getting any new fish. I never quite fgured out what happened. I ahd water check at 2 seperate fish stores as well by my own kits. I only added a new fish after the 4 remaining fish in my tank were symptom free for over 6 weeks along with heavy water changes. At this point I added the new fish. He was QT for 2 weeks.

Be honest if you want members to help out.
People are actually taking the time to give you advice, but you're playing around.
You did not find out your problem & you continued to add fish & now ask "why are they sick?."

The two fish are currently in QT. I should have QT the new addition immediately. Thanks for advice
