Hi!
My black ocellaris clown showed cloudy signs and color fading about two weeks ago, which people were saying was definitely brooklynella.
I treated him with paraguard baths (pesticide medicine) , and FW dips which was not effective, and his tail even turned white on one side with a slimy texture after a week.
after finally getting my hands on some formalin, I’ve given him two formalin baths.( 37% formaldehyde )
Though some of the cloudiness cleared up, his tail is still slimy, and tail fin seems damaged, and overall not healthy. He has never stopped eating.
Now this is what I dont understand: if it is brooklynella, then why hasnt my other clown, or my 6line wrasse been affected? i thought brook spreads like wildfire, thought after 2 weeks they both seem perfectly fine with no signs of illness. Could this be something else and not brook?? Should i continue with formalin baths? or should i donate him to a fish store ? I currently bagged him as I was about to take him to a fish store to return, as i dont know what else to do. Posting here first to hear from you guys. Anyways, thanks for reading and look forward to reading ur thoughts
