Do a 15 minute fresh water dip... I have just seen a miracle with two clowns after doing it! Here's some steps:
1. Get your R/O water ready. 1/2 gallon will do.
2. Add baking soda gradually to bring the PH up to about 8.2 (or whatever your tank is). I find that 1/4 per gallon is just right. That would be 1/8 of a cup for 1/2 a gallon.
3. Warm up the freshwater to the temperature currently in the tank.
4. Throw in an air stone.
5. Drop the fish in and wait exactly 15 minutes, gently stirring the water to keep the fish moving somewhat.
6. If the first dip doesn't work, do the same procedure 24 hours later, but with 1 drop of formulin.
This has done wonders for me. Good luck.
