Sorry to see. That must have been a really aggressive bacterial infection - OR the fish died and some CUC did that damage?
Thanks Jay I appreciate your help with this one. No I did the damage when I caught her in a net. The scales sloughed right off. Agree bacterial because nothing else seems to match up, or check all the boxes. Hopefully a dose of Rally to the system will knock it back and prevent any more damage.

Rally isn't an antibiotic. It will help with fish stress but if this was truly bacterial something like cipro will be needed should any other fish show symptoms.
Sorry to hear about your clown.

P.s. PU can't wait to see you. He has some massive shoulders now and a cute bump growing on his forehead. Our baby is growing up.

yes and Jason can walk you through it.
Cipro dosage is 50 mg / gal QD x 7days, which can be a bit cost prohibitive for larger systems. Generally speaking, for something broad spectrum, Doxycycline will work just fine. It is sold by API as "fin and body cure".

Wow... It looks like they don't sell the non-prescription on Chewy anymore...

Yeah, per FDA guidance, it was pulled in January.

I found this site.

Other option: find a good vet that will write a prescription based on a bacterial aquarium infection?

Looks like I need a script? And it's out of stock everywhere anyway. I'll keep digging.
You know how much you need? I have 26 pills of the 500mg dose.

API sells doxy? Good to know.

Thanks so much but for the 180g based on info online probably close to 100. 500mg 1/ 10g treat 3-5 days. I'm going to grab the fin and body cure. No one else is symptomatic at the moment. Thinking it may have been "saddleback disease". I should have had a med kit put together. So that's what I'm going to do now.
