Maroon clownfish: I had posted questions about this and wanted to follow-up with a success story.
See pictures...the maroon clown had been through Humblefish's protocol
with chloroquine phosphate (and a digital scale) for 12 days. All good. Then
about 10 days later, I noticed a white parasite attached to the fish's mouth/lips.
I did a search and could not find anything about this on R2R, etc. so consulted this group.
I first tried freshwater bath, no results. Then I tried hydrogen peroxide bath
per humblefish's protocol and SUCCESS. That parasite was gone in just a few minutes.
That was 4 days ago and all seems good. I'll post further if there are any developments but
I hope not. Perhaps this can help someone in the future.
