He does not get excited about food, he will either swim up to food and then let it hit the ground or instantly spit it out. He is SO much skinnier than the bigger clown, and I am worried he's going to be dead soon. I am...

    Treating Uronema in Empty Tank - Help!

    Hi All, I recently picked up a trio of chromis and they all died due to Uronema. Although, I have no other fish living in the tank. I read online once it's in a system, it's difficult to remove. Does anyone have any recommendations? Should I do a 100% water change? Or will it die out on its own?
