Yes that sounds about right. Fins aren't pinned to their bodies, breathing normally, swimming like normal clownfish. I'll try to post a video.

That's good. Okay, get some quality frozen food, such as LRS nano frenzy and some selcon vitamin additive.


Soak the food with selcon and feed it to them.

Keep their water quality up and clean. Keep an eye on ammonia in QT. Hopefully soon they will look better.

I couldn't get the video to work. If others have the same problem you might want to try saving to you tube and pasting a link.

It takes a long time for it to come up. Finally did for me.

I agree on the lympho. Hard to tell if anything else may be going on since they are white. I don't see any slothing.

I think so too. If they had signs of this over a week ago, if it was Brook, they would have been dead sometime ago.

Feed them good, Jenny and get some selcon. Best of luck with them! They should be fine.

That’s lymphoma in a nearly presentation, IMO. High quality foods and water are about all you can provide. It’s rarely fatal and clears on its own in a clean environment with good nutrition :)

That makes me feel a bit better! I've lost a few too many clowns the last couple of years and really didnt want to have to go through that again!

Agree, lymphocystis. Pretty severe case, but not harmful per se, just unattractive.
Doesn't look anything like brook or flukes, imo.
Wish people would stop recommending dangerous treatments without being sure of the diagnosis.

After doing some research it would be difficult for me to get formaldehyde and I wouldn't even know where to get it. this works much better for me and is much safer as well.
