Brook/Ich/Flukes? She has started flashing against the sand. Thank you!

Looks like it could be brook based on pics 1 and 3.

That’s what I thought looking at some other pics online. The thing on her eye in pic 2 was gone a little later, I thought it might be something else.

You can try a fw dip and see if anything falls off.

+1 - Looks like Brooklynella from here, as well.

Brook can move quickly, so you should too - you'll want to treat all the fish in a QT, and go "fallow" for six weeks to eradicate.

Thanks for the reply’s, posted the extra pics before I saw them. I’ll get a QT setup, at least it’s only a Randall’s prawn Goby and the clown as far as fish in the DT. I don’t know much about dips and medications as I haven’t had to treat the fish before. Will start researching.

+1 to early stage Brook. Move all fish to QT treat with metronidazole for 10 days. Allow DT to be fallow for 6 weeks.

A 90 minute bath I'm Ruby reef Rally may also be beneficial.

Thank you for the info, heading down the street to pick up supplies. It’s handy having the LFS a few blocks away.

Starting treatment, will post notable things.
