Sick clown?

I have an adult clarke clown. He seems to be struggling to stay in the lower levels of the tank. It looks as though he is floating to the top and flapping his fins to try to stop but its not working. Is this the end? Any ideas guys.

Regards
Bazza

Bazza, how long have you had him? Any other problems with him?

If it's just swim bladder, sometimes raising the temp up to about 88F will help. Don't do this to inverts though!

Other than that, there's some heavy duty meds that might help to, if it's treatable that way.
