brooklynella

My 9 month old clownfish appears to have some sort of dust coat. His mated pair (share an anemone) has nothing visible. I did have what I believe to be ich on two tangs, which have fully recovered 1 week ago from diet alterations and herbal medication. A quarantine would be risky since the tank...

Hello, I used to do saltwater aquariums 5-6 years ago but exited the hobby after not being very successful. I was a gear junky that bought the nicest equipment and aquariums only to keep buying more before I had seen success with an initial system. Eventually the cost became too much and I...

Please help! Around 3 weeks ago we noticed our Royal Gramma was flashing intermittently, but no other behavioural changes. She was sometimes doing the yawning motion, but mostly around dinner time so thought it was territorial. Then 2 weeks ago I noticed small white spots on my black juvenile...

I haven’t had any fish/coral additions to my tank for at least 4-6months now. My fish have been very healthy and eating well, but suddenly noticed these spots/ white cast develop on the body of the clownfish. Any identification would be great so I could determine the treatment ASAP. I have 37%...

Is this Brooklynella or velvet please help. My clownfish just died too. #fishmedic

My clown is now dying. I have been using ich X saltwater and doing water changes daily. At this point am setting up 20 gallon hospital tank. Will use copper power. Please help.

My clownfish (had for 3 months) has developed white spots on his body, the other clownfish (in dt for 1 month) sometimes lays on the sand. All fish in tank, except the full black clownfish pictured were quarantined (observed) (black hood was first fish). Is this ich or something more insidious...

This is very insightful information by AI about Brooklynella clowns and how it works. Never knew a good amount of wild clowns have it more instead of captive bread. Your thoughts?? @Jay Hemdal

I want to get your guys opinion on this. I’m not sure what’s wrong with my clown fish. One of them is breathing extremely fast and was swimming erratically in the flow from my wave maker. The one that is breathing fast is the one that looks completely fine. The other one with the white gash on...

Ok, this is probably a dumb question. I'm familiar with the lifecycle of brook, but i'm at my whits end. A month or so ago, I introduced a wild-caught clownfish into my ~75-gallon (not actually sure of the exact size) display tank. The store I got him from typically has a lengthy quarantine...

Here my clown fish as well hard to tell if they have but assuming they have it. noticed today puffer looks to have brook, Added a Pgmy waspfish a month ago didn't notice anything off till now. Tank also has 2 clownfish but they have been in the tank with the puffer for 6+ months. Please let...

I hope i’m posting in the right area. This was my clown. 1st pic was him Sunday (June 22). Second pic was him Tuesday morning (June 24) and tuesday night, he died. I didnt think anything of the white stuff on him because i’ve had him about two years and before this, he’s had spots like that and...

Hello, ive had a pair of clownfish for about two months. Since day 1 they have been eating and acting totally normal. But today i noticed a small white spot/patch on its side. They are both still acting normal, no labored breathing or other weird behaviors. Is this something I should be worried...

IT'S BEEN A TOUGH FEW WEEKS Y'ALL! After losing a some of my beloved fish fam I almost wanted to just give up the whole hobby to be honest. But after getting my remaining fish back to healthy and vibrant I wanted to make this post as more a "lesson learned" post to hopefully help someone else...

I think my one clown fish might have Brooke. I’m not quite sure how she would’ve got it as nothing has been added to the tank for a couple months. However, she looks extremely pale and is lethargic. She’s still coming up to eat, but you can tell it wears her out and she’s gotta go lay down and...

Good afternoon all, This is my first time posting to hear but I’ve used this website as a resource for the past 2yrs and I really appreciate all the help I get from people posting. Now I’m finally posting my own question and I'm hoping someone can help me out with some advice I have a 40...

Pretty sure my clowns have brook. Any success with hyposalinity? How did you do it. Thanks.

My clownfish has been showing symptoms for about 10 days now. Initially, I suspected it might be ich, as I know it can sometimes be present without visible signs. This clownfish has always been the only livestock in the tank, which also houses a mangrove and some macroalgae. I’ve had him for 6–9...

Hello all! Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm having a sad emergency with my tank. On Sunday night my fish were all swimming around and looked fine. Monday evening noticed my gramma wasn't eating at feeding time, but she was still swimming around the tank a bit showing no signs of...

hi all, i moved a few months ago, my tank did really well surviving the move and all was great. once i felt ready, i added a one spot foxface to my reef stock of: 2x 12 yo clown fish, a 4 yo tomini tang, a 2 yo bicolor blenny, a 4 yo Aiptasia eating file fish, and a 1yo watchman.. the foxface...

Terrible brook outbreak ( from my diagnosis) wiped out my tank ‘ I have a Waterbox 130.4 mixed reef and it took out 9 fish ! Including my yellow tang , hippo , clowns , wrasses , sleeper head .. etc . I have 2 surviving fish . My 6 year old purple tang and my year old yellow watchman . They...

Hey guys, five days ago I bought a Sapphire damsel for my tank and today a noticed a white mark on him. I haven’t been able to notice because he’s usually facing the other way and hides in the rock work. He might’ve got the mark from my male clown since he would try to attack the damsel for the...

I observed several discolored patches on one of my clowns with white spots in the center of each patch. The white spots appear raised. It doesn’t look like ich so I am trying to determine what this is. This is my male and he does get roughed up by the female occasionally (the reason for his...

Looking for some advise? Brook spread over 4/5 fish over a week and quickly took them out however I have one clown which has only got bigger and brighter. This clown has remained in my tank for past 2 weeks with no sign of brook. I look to keep this fish in there for another 4 weeks before...
