Default Please help- Sick Clown

We came home from work today to find one of our clowns laying at the bottom of the tank, breathing heavy and very bloated. I don't know what to do for him- he looks pretty bad. ANy recommendations?

Unhappy

Well, he died. After gasping and laying at the bottom for about half an hour, he went a little crazy swimming to the top, then sank to the bottom

We had the clowns for 2 months, and we bought them as a pair from J&L. They were our first fishies We also have a blackcap and a royal gramma that we added 2 weeks ago- water temperatures and paramaters are stable, and he seemed to be normal up until we came home from work.

There weren't any signs that he was sick- and other fish seem normal. I feel really bad, and I want to know why he died- if it's a parasite, I wan to make sure the other fish are treated. We feed them frozen misys shrimp and pellets twice a day.

Sad Misty
