My Tank Thread
Captive bred clowns should never have "Brook". Either it was something else, or they got infected by the holding sytem at the LFS. Maybe find a new LFS or QT the fish if you have to buy from them. But yeah, captive bred saltwater fish *should* be disease free. If you order captive bred ORA clown fish online from live aquaria, they will be shipped directly from the ORA breeding facility and free of disease and not needing a QT at all.
I got both from different stores. I suspect the smaller store was the issue. My son really liked the fish though, cause it looked like it had bullet holes. I should have trusted my instinct and just bought from the more helpful store. They were a little pricier, but sometimes quality costs more. Lesson learned.
