ok ill be quick my damsel is showing the same symptoms of my angel fish before he died, loss of color, reclusive, and smaller eyes
i believe this is an infection or they are sick if the tank environment was the problem he would of died first so am i right and if so what do i do
and one other thing is my skimmer has been putting lots bubbles and air in the water can that also hurt the fish

You sure your ammonia is zero? You said something about ammonium on your other post. Do you have an ammonia test kit?

Take it out of the tank and do water changes in a smaller tank until you can get some medication like Copper Power

If your tank isn't cycled, i'm betting ammonia poisoning. Go get a good test kit and some amquel.

now just to find out about my clownfishs headfirst swimming(well kinda keeps putting his head against the bottom so im doing other test and checking him
nvm its the pump hes angles at the strongest point of the current hes okay and no discoloration or marks

 

[webster1234]

You shouldn't be detecting any ammonia at all. If you are, I would start dosing prime to bind it up until your tank is cycled. It's possible the erratic behavior is due to ammonia poisoning.

ok ill try and do that
