    Yes, absolutely. It is probably not the case here, but a secondary disease is termed opportunistic. It grabs hold while the immune system is fighting off the primary infection. As I said, this is probably not the case here. It looks as if you are dealing with a primary disease. It's just a matter of determining what it is and then selecting the correct course of treatment. See if you can get some better pics up on the board.

    Now, the white specks.....are they all over the clown? Are they just on the fins? Are the base of the fins a constant color or a little red? (I know difficult to tell on a clown). Are the specks small and the same size or of varying size. How do the gills look?

    As for parameters, when you were asked to supply your parameters, we meant the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, Temp. Those five are good enough.

    Peace.......John.

    The white specks are on the fins and one near the gills.the base of the gills are slightly redder than the rest of the fin surrounding it. Also there is a orange like thing under its mouth.And my other clownfish has something like a pimple on its body and its starting to have fin rot too.
