Advice for Cleo the Clown!

Good Morning!

I am really worried about my Clown Cleo :-(

Cleo and Lulu have been in my tank about a month. A few days ago his face looked haggard. LuLu is definitely showing dominance and I have see her nipping but no marks.

What is going on with Cleo face?? Is this a disease? Bite marks? Larger Clown (Lulu) does not have any marks and face is normal. Eating and acting completely normal-

Thanks for your help!

It is so tough to get a clear picture since they are so fast--! Best I could do...

In case any of you have seen this post and are wondering- it is a bacterial infection. I was able to get "medicine" today and turn the frozen food into a paste.

Also a cleaner shrimp can pull it off. I do have a cleaner shrimp who is happy and in love with the idea of cleaning all the fish but my Clowns has thus far not let him.

The other option is kind of crazy- At this point I am not going to try it because I don't have steady hands and would be so freaking nervous I would probably mess up. Apparently you can net the fish and scrape the fungus off the face. HOLY MOLY I only wish I was that confident in my skills. Instead I would end up shaking so bad poor Cleo would jump and I would be rescuing from the floor.

If any of you are interested I will keep you posted on the medicine.

I am using Seachem KanoPlex and MetroPlex-

Wish me luck!!!
