    I just got this guy 3 days ago. he now has white face swimming around the surface. eyes are foggy as well.
    i got two clowns and smaller fish seems to be doing just fine.
    my alkalinity is off. is it bad fish or is my tank bad?
    everything else in my tank is doing great :confused::confused:

    could my alkalinity have caused this?

    i have never seen that as well.... i would get a more reliable test kit than that. but i would definitely quarantine him if possible. I don't know... maybe treat him with an antibiotic? i don't know. i am at a loss. good luck
