Help!

We did just do a chemiclean treatment on this tank.

^^ This is the X factor, especially since the OP said a tang died following treatment.

Does the fish's skin appear to be peeling or sloughing off? Brook is common in clownfish and copper does not treat it: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/brooklynella.247938/

There are photos of clownfish with brook in the link above, for comparison purposes.

This thread is giving me a headache. Who's the OP? Mgoesma or salty?

From mgoesma this is what I understand and I'm probably very confused. Fish/Shrimp/corals/caviar/copper/Prazipro/Chemiclean all in the QT?

The clownfish may have brook; start with that treatment.

Mgoesma

I have been assisting in a cyano bacteria prob in another thread.

So like no wonder I'm so confused! [emoji316]

 

[mgoesma]

some updated photos of my living fish

 

[mgoesma]

The only meds I have is praxi, copper, Methylene Blue coral Rx. Will any of that help? I can not leave. If anyone could point me to a better product on Amazon I will get it.

 

[Humblefish]

Is there any way to get a closeup of this guy?

 

[mgoesma]

That is all the way bummed in. I did a fresh water dip. But I'll try to get him to come closer to the glass.

 

[mgoesma]

I just took these.

 

[vsutarov]

My guess is also brooklynella.

 

[mgoesma]

My blenny is also sick. But I can't get him to come out for a photo. When he does come out he scratches and swimming funny.

 

[mgoesma]

I definitely think it is Brooks. What are my chances. I can't get formalin Intel tomorrow at best huricane and all.

Sorry I"m late! This looks like brook to me as well. The freshwater dip can help, but metroplex, acryflavin or formalin are what you want. If you have any Ruby reef rally on hand or metroplex, I'd use those in a QT. I've done really well with using both metroplex and ruby reef rally. You'd do Rally in a dip then metroplex in the QT. You don't want to do more than one FW dip in a day on the same fish, so keep that in mind. You'll also want to treat all your fish for it and go fallow for 6 weeks.

 

[mgoesma]

How do I get them out to treat them?

 

[Humblefish]

Definitely brook. Do daily FW dips (look here) until you can get one of the medications listed here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/brooklynella.247938/

 

[mgoesma]

That's the plan. What's the odds I'm going to loose everything?

For some reason brook mostly afflicts clownfish and members of the damsel family. Although, I've seen it hit anthias pretty hard too. Any other fish showing obvious physical symptoms, other than the clownfish?

Catch them. :) You'll have to net them when they aren't paying attention, set a trap, or take the rocks out and catch them that way.

 

[mgoesma]

Yes my Royal Gramma Basslet. Other than that I only have some gobies. 2 fire fish and a yellow watchman. But I haven't seen the watchman since I put him in.
