goblin072 is on a distinguished road
The sick clown has been in my hospital tank for a few weeks now. I treated the tank with Rid Ich+
(M-green and Formalin) also put Malfix (in case of bacterial infection)

She is a 3 inch Clarki and acts as if she is blind. Always in the corner of the tank. Rarely swims in a normal horizontal (Dorsal fin up) position. She either swims up the corner or swims down it.

I have seen her swimming almost normal for about 5 minutes. I thought she was getting better. The next day she is back to the corner again.

I put sheet algae on a clip and she does eat it. If I put food in the tank, even soaked in garlic extreme she will not swim to it. I have to put it in front of her. I wonder if she got stung by the Foxface in my main tank.

Her color is good, no visible lesions on her body or mouth.

She won't get better nor will she die. Not sure what to do.
