Help! Sick Clown Trigger

[duckboy78]

Hello,

I just started a new saltwater fish tank and it has been set up for about a month or month and a half now. A day or two ago I noticed my clown trigger to be rather pale. Today he is still pale, breathing rather hard and is not very active as usual. He usually swims back and forth rapidly all day. But today he is just staying in a small section. He looks sick. The temperature is at 80. I tested the levels everyday and all is fine. The tank is a 30 gallon. All the other fish seem to be fine. I have a small maroon clown, very small baby huma huma, a percula clown and a blue tang. This morning I did notice the blue tang to have several scratches on her but all else seems fine so far. I have several filters running so I know this is well too. I fed them trigger formula every other day and shrimp once a week. Hope this is enough information for someone to help. I would hate to lose him. He is one of my favorites. Thanks

you're going to have to offer more info than "all is fine" water quality if you want legit help towards an answer. be specific, the more info you offer on everything from water quality to tank set-up the better people can help ya out

also your tank is pretty overstocked especially so when you factor in 2 of the occupants can be pretty nasty (triggers), hope you have something much larger already in plans

I cant believe the maroon hasnt murdered the perc yet.

Small tank. Two aggressive triggers.

I agree that we need better h2o quality numbers as well.

Jeez a 30 with two triggers a blue tang and two breeds of clowns? Must be realy stressful on the fish. Sure your trigger isn't getting beat?

if those fish were used to cycle the tank that could be the problem.
