Clownfish fliiping over on back.. any chance of recovery?

Ok, as I just recently posted, I've been treating ich for about three weeks, well one of my black clowns was hit pretty hard. I gave him a fresh water dip yesterday, and he seemed to respond well afterwards. Today his skin looked like it was 'shedding' the whiteish layer off. Well now he's swimming upside down, vertically, and every now and then flipping over. I really think he's going to die, and don't want him to be dead in the tank over night , but I also don't want to flush him if there is ANY chance that he could recover!! Please help..

 

i have never had a fish recover from that but thats not to say he wont

 

There's always a possibility....

 

Thanks guys... I really think he's going to die.. I just checked on him, and he's actually lying on the sand breating really hard... I just can't bring myself to flush him while he's still breating. Do you think it's going to hurt anything by waiting onhim to ... kick the bucket, as long as I scoop him out before too long.. I mean is he releaseing harmful stuff to the other fish you think?/ I doubt it's going to be much longer.. then again, I've never WATCHED a fish die before!?!

 

Man that sucks..

 

just take him out once he dies.

 

Sounds like a pretty sick little fish. :-[

I would consider removing him and putting him out of misery if acting as bad as you describe.

Nature will take course.

Sorry.
