Is this brooklynella ?

[Razorsreef]

Just got this fish from what I’ve read it looks like brook can anyone confirm? Skin is peeling , planning on setting up a qt ASAP What is my best choice for medication and treatment ?

That definitely looks like brook. Sorry to see it.
If possible, do a bath in formalin or Ruby Reef Rally, then transfer to QT and treat with metronidazole or chloroquine.

Brooklynella

Brooklynella hostilis What You Need To Know: * This is most often seen in clownfish, but it can afflict any fish. The fish’s skin will appear to be peeling or sloughing off, oftentimes causing excessive white mucous to form around the affected area(s). * Treatment of choice is a 45 minute...

I would treat with a 5 min FW dip before going into QT then 2 scoops of metro per 10G for 14 days. All fish exposed will need to be treated and your DT left fallow for 6 weeks. Brook is a quick killer so time is not on your side.

You wouldn't give them an acriflavine bath first?

Bummer I figured it was.. so I can find the ruby on amazon but can’t seem to find the chloroquine I see para gard by seachem is that the right stuff?

Yes if it’s on hand but I wouldn’t wait on it to be ordered and delivered. A FW dip will help also.

Looks like it. Although not the recommended treatment, I have had success with PraziPro.
Formallin is the treatment that will truly work. Quick-cure also is effective as it has malachite and formallin in the contents.

I can’t be of help here but I’m sorry to see this and will use your thread as education if you don’t mind.

Agree with @Frtdrmrose7; if you don't have formalin or RRR on hand, go with the freshwater dip. Don't wait.
Chloroquine isn't widely available; Metroplex should be available at many LFS or overnight by Amazon.

dang :/ sorry to hear that.. that sucks! It’s an unfortunate side of this hobby and all we can do is be as informed as we can and act upon things right away hoping for the best.

Sorry to hear it.
I never seem to have much luck with freshwater dips.
Medicated baths seem less stressful overall.
