Help! Sick Fish?

loveless · #1 04-16-2009, 06:16 PM

I have a blue throat trigger that is not doing well. Have had this fish for 2 weeks and yesterday it never came out to play. This morning at lights on I managed to snap some pics of this him. He looks to be in rough shape but I dont know what is wrong if anything. Does anyone recognize anything? Looks like fin rot. Any help would be great

Thanks
Cam

1 hippo tang
1 yellow tang
a pair of clarki's
6 chromis
a mandarin
1 female blue thoat trigger
1 Copper band butterfly
1 copper banded shrimp
2 cleaner shrimp
1 pepermint shrimp

No agression has been noticed, and they are all in a 180gal

I don't have enough experience to know what is wrong with your fish, but after he is better, when you have time, suck up those unwanted bubble algae.

So you have to triggers?

Is the female beating on your male?

No, I got them at the same time and they usually hang out together. The female is in good shape but the male only swims around with his pectoral fins while the female swims with all of her fins. Could ich be the cause of this? I have noticed some questionable spots on him but nothing crazy.

Thanks for your replies
