Lost all my fish except a fire goby and this fox face. Not sure what it is but based on post I think it could have been Brook. Treating it with Polylab Medic and Metroplex/Kanaplex. Would Reef Rally Pro work? How long do I need to keep my tank cycling even if fish survive. All this say that this is deadly.

Please post another video and of at least 20 seconds using white lighting only, no blue as foxface rarely get brook and this may be something else but need to clearly see the fish. Medic rarely if ever works as its merely peroxide salts and withhold metro for now as it must be used when absolutely necessary and by weight at .5 gm by weight

I have to get one with the white lights but this is when he started to show signs of sickness and before I lost all my other fish...

Rabbit has mucus plugs often started with a skin irritation and can be mixed in with ich. You want to isolate the fish and treat with coppersafe or copper power at 2.25ppm for a full 3o days and monitor with a Hanna Brand copper test kit. To confirm, this is not brooklynella
