Can anyone diagnose? Disease?

[truben1010]

My clownfish just died yesterday due to an unknown disease. I tried everything I could. She was in a qt tank. It started off with a cloudy eye but the cloudy eye kept getting bigger, it didn’t look like popeye. Anyone know what this is? It looks like her right eye is gone.

I’ve had her for 1 year and 1 month and she got this diease in my dt. She was the only one in there.

Question. If you've had her for over a year, what was the reason for the qt if you believe she got the disease while in qt?

My bad I didn’t explain that right. She got that disease in the display tank. So I put her in the qt to treat her.

how long a time since You saw the fish alive & then dead?

Got it lol. Was just the eye cloudy or did it look like the whole body was covered in a slime coat?

It just looked like cloudy eye, but the cloudy eye would become thicker like this.

Bad quality pic but I couldn’t get a good one. Water was green from fungus cure medicine. I used this the first time and it helped get it away. The second time she got this disease it didn’t help. Other than the cloudy eyes her tail seemed kind of torn too.

no worries. @Humblefish is great with these types of pictures and is our expert fish disease guru. He may have a better idea. To me looks like an infection of some type of the eye. Whether its fungal or bacterial I am unsure.

Who is humblefish? Sorry to ask

No problem. @Humblefish is a user on the forum here whom I consider a good friend and a very helpful member. He is an expert at fish disease diagnosis, and treatment. If he doesnt know what's wrong with your fish it likely doesnt exist lol

I can't tell for sure from the pics, but using Kanaplex + Furan-2 + Metroplex in a QT environment would probably be a good idea in this situation.

The first two medications treat bacterial/fungal diseases; Metro treats Brooklynella which is very common in clownfish.

Thank you so much, but sadly my fish passed away in the morning today which was over 12 hours ago . I am just wondering how how long I should wait for my display tank to be ready for fish? Or am I suppose to medicate my fish or? Any advice on that?

I would keep a close eye on all your other fish for at least a couple of weeks before adding more. To be sure this isn't a transmissible disease.

Sorry for your loss.

Oh okay thank you. Yeah I have been having a really bad day today. My new tail spot blenny died in quarantine today, he didn’t have any diseases and he was eating really well. I almost really want to give up. But thank you.

Trust me, I understand your frustration. The entire supply chain is "polluted" right now like I've never seen before, and that is making it more & more difficult to successfully QT.

Yeah, to the point that I'm highly considering prophylactically doing the "velvet protocol" of freshwater dip followed by Rally bath prior to QT for the next fish I purchase. We need Humblefish Aquatics so badly right now

It's still very much in the works. I'm just encountering some setbacks right now; mostly trying to find some decent livestock wholesalers to buy from.
