Hi, Im new here (searched from google) anyway hope it is not too late to ask the question ...
What happened was I did a water change 2 days ago which the water is natural sea water (nsw) I collected on Sat. Then on Monday when I had a close look my clown fishes one of the fishes seems got the white spot. However the "difference" is if it is not in bright light area, you cannot see anything at all (as they have black body color) but if there is some lights you can see some milky/semi transparent or even white spot on the body.
When I moved them to QT Monday and used the water from the same source I found there are many tiny jelly fishes swimming around (in QT) however on the day when I did my water changes I can only see one in the tank. The jelly fishes are around 1mm diameter and hard to see... I saw one clown ate the jelly fish too.Today I am using asw (artificial) instead...
Moreover it seems that part of the tail fin losing color? and I saw a white string attached it's front fin and sometimes it may "unattached"...
I think I can see some transparent/milky thing fall from it's body when swimming however I am not sure about this..
The fish started not eating today (or I cant see) when I am next to the tank and they have no scratching / rubbing the tank behavior.
(from dark area)
(from front)
Today (Wed) It seems the "white spot" is not obvious at all however the fish is losing it's color (e.g. part of the body is not black anymore)... any idea? and looks like the fins are a bit melting? (I dont know how to describe)
The other fish have a minor same situation however still willing to eat.
Just wonder if anyone can tell me if they are white spot, caused by the jelly fish or something else?
Thanks a lot
