It looks like ich, give it food with garlic, turn on the UV, and check the ammonia

Parece ich dale comida con ajo prende UV y verifica la Amonia

They eat their food readily should I still give them food with garlic? Ammonia is at 0

Try to buy something.

Intenta comprar algo.

It’s ich it’s normal if they are new and clownfish are hardy so they should clear up by the end of the week, I personally use prazipro which is reef safe. I also soak food in garlic as well when my fish get ice

So should I medicate them or nah?

I would soak food in Garlic for a couple of days and monitor them make sure it isn’t getting worse if it gets worse after 3 days then I’ll use the prazipro

I got some white spot medication from my lfs today and was gonna start dosing it cause I think my Picasso is starting to get lethargic(?) and his gills are pretty flared up

If that’s the case then I would medicate as well, what is it that you got? Do you have corals? Make sure it’s completely reef safe

I’m not sure what it is but they said they use it to treat their fish as well and that it’s reef safe

Their direction of use was 2ml/100l and use once every two days

Hmmm so it doesn’t have a label? I wouldn’t trust anything that doesn’t have a label on it

Yeah but I can’t seem to find other fish stores near me that sells any meds for them and online would take like a week or two to get delivered 😭😭

Amazon 2 day delivery

Not in the us or any western country 😭😭
