I agree with you Mark. I Debated whether or not to post that, my intent was to let it be known (and why) LRS does not have enough garlic in It to amount to much, and that it can't hurt to use Garlic as per your instructionsBig smile ...

I would lean toward a Bacterial infection. Treat in a 10 gallon quarantine tank with Furan 2. It Contains two furan compounds to combat a wide variety of gram-positive & gram-negative bacterial diseases, including bacterial gill disease.

If you opt for the Formalin dip (which works well on parasites including Brooklynella) and you can't find Formalin, Look for a saltwater treatment with Malachite Green/Formalin as active ingredients.

Heavy prolonged use of Garlic has shown to be detrimental to the health of fish. LRS only rinses thier product in Garlic water so it can be added to the label due to consumer demand.

I have not done a specific garlic treatment but I do have garlic nori in the tank and I feed LRS reef frenzy which says it has garlic in it so I thought I was safe.

Where is the best place to get formalin locally and how long do you recommend doing a dip for? I am assuming that the Formalin bottle will tell me how much to use per gallon?

My guess is a bacterial infection that started on its own or was possibly brought on by gill parasites. I believe a brief Formalin dip in tank water siphoned into a separate small tank can help kill the parasite, but for the infection, a well fed fish can sometimes overcome it. There are some fish food additives, like Nitrofurazone that can attack bad bacterial infections.

Just curious, was a garlic treatment used for the first 5 days after these fish came into the aquarium and once every 2 weeks after that?

I added a couple of clowns a month ago (jul 8) and the past couple of days the one has really secluded itself and it didn't eat yesterday or today. I noticed that today its gills looked enflamed and it seems to be having trouble keeping itself upright.

I have other fish in the tank and they seem to be doing fine.

Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0

Any ideas on what I can try? 

If you watch the video you can see that it is having a hard time staying upright and it looks like he is having a hard time breathing.

Thanks for any suggestions.
