Kkiel02 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 The first picture I was a little sceptical on but this one sure looks like it. It kills clowns very quick though(mine were dead in 2 days). I now keep formalin on hand for this reason as the day I discovered it no LFS in NB were open or they didn't have it. The next day they were dead. Luckily they were in my QT instead of my DT but I was shocked how fast they died. This is why I am wondering if it isn't Marine Velvet as yours seemed to live a little longer. Copper is very useful if it is. I also say this because Brook(also known as Clownfish Disease) is rarily found on other species( I do remember someone posting a pic of a yellow tang with it though so it isn't impossible of course). Just thought I would throw it out there so you could research that and see what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought I would throw it out there so you could research that and see what you think. I wondered if it was marine velvet, but my other clown is doing well in QT on Formalin (well, 3 days of formalin and now he's just in QT acting what I'd consider normal). I'm not sure is Formalin and Malachite Green is effective on velvet? The clown that survived no longer has splotchy/sloughing skin as shown above in that picture, although that is the one that died and my other clown didn't seem AS "sick" by the time I got the QT going. My wrasse has a cloudy eye and a splotch on his side. I'm trying to catch him and my chromis (and firefish if he's still alive) to move them all to QT for bulk treatment and QT until 8+ weeks pass in my DT for brook to die off. I've read brooklynella is HIGHLY contagious to every fish once exposed to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindflux Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Blue/Green Chromis is looking splotchy, but only under actinics.... I guess this is a lesson in QTing new livestock. (or maybe anything wet, QT corals too for bugs?)... So far my fish trap water bottle hasn't caught anything... Even with rods food in there. If this doesn't catch anything by this evening I may throw some mysis in it... make it more enticing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindflux Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Wrasse is in QT. He fell for the water bottle fishtrap with some mysis in it. woohoo. Now if I can get the dang chromis and the firefish if it's alive... I'd like to do a formalin regimen on all the fish at once. While posting. If I plan to keep my DT fish free for 8 weeks do I have to worry about the coral? Can the parasite live on corals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
