clownfish changing sex
I had to pull my female black and white clown today in order to hospitalize her for what I am thinking is velvet. Its mainly on her....face? and eyes so shes having trouble seeing. (shes the only one with symptoms, go figure.)
My question is will the smaller male change to a female in the 3-4 weeks I plan on isolating the female? Im hoping when I reintroduce them there wont b any problems.

+1 no your male will need hormone therapy and then there is a whole series of operations

On a side note, The two clowns dont look alot alike. I thought all black and white clowns had rounded tails? Hers is flat at the end, and her fins are yellow as well as her tail. The male is only black and white with a rounded tail.
I dont hold alot of hope for her as she cant see to eat. Unless her eyes clear up fast Im afraid she might starve. Been target feeding her squid and mysis soaked in garlic extreme but she misses 99% of the time.

malachite green is only effective towards parasitic infections, mainly in clearing the gills. If it's velvet you will know sooner or later.
