freshwater dip...??
 
One of my clown fish has had a white spot on it's bottom fin for about a week and a half. The fish does not act sick and is eating as normal. I gave it a freshwater dip (per LFS guy) about 4 days ago, but spot is still there and now I have noticed another smaller spot on top (dorsal I believe) fin. I hope I did the dip right.

Matched temp and alk, inserted fish, monitored it for about 5 mins, and then returned to tank. I think I will dip again. If I am doing something wrong or should try something else please any info would be apreciated.

not all parasites are dislodged by FW dips. sounds like you did the dip correctly.

From what I acknoledged, you should match temp & PH, instead of alk
