I travelled 2.5 hours to get a clown knife today. I introduced him slowly ie adding water to bucket slowly but 10 hours later he looks a bit mucusy and eyes cloudy. any ideas what it could be. there are two smaller clown knifes in there which were introduced in last week and they are and were fine when introduced
 
just checked him this morning. He looks a lttle better but still very sullen at the bottom of the tank. I raised the temperature a bit and kept lights off to see if it would help
 
is he in the main tank? honestly i would put him into a hospital tank and add some med
 
no I moved him into a smaller hospital tank and raised the temp a couple of notches. He seems settled in sense his eyes aren't cloudy but still quite listless and a nick he had on his back when I got him from previous owner has gone more white?
 
he's improving a bit just the cut by his dorsal fin is worrying as its very white and flaky
 
all sorted now. I did a number of water changes to big tank and now he's in there after improving in the smaller tank. He's now spot on as is the tank
