Y'all, got a question re: an undiagnosed disease that probably was Brooklynella.
I've had a spate of clowns dying from a disease that I suspect was Brooklynella. The last clown died before I could really do anything about it, and about 3 weeks ago.
Here's what I'm confused about: I still have a Watchman Goby who was, and who remains, unaffected. (Also a Pistol Shrimp and a Peppermint Shrimp, but I imagine they're irrelevant to this discussion.) My understanding was that Brooklynella is a broad-spectrum parasite, able to infect many kinds of fish. Am I wrong? Are Gobies an exception?
If Gobies aren't afflicted, but are still a carrier, I'm in for some hurt. But if the Goby's lack of obvious susceptibility to this is an indicator that it's not a carrier, I'll be more optimistic.
(To be clear, I'm not 100% sure it was Brooklynella. But is sure seemed like.)
