oh fudge!! my tank is getting wiped out by this disease

[Puffalicious]

So... I went and bought a fish a couple of weeks ago, turns out he had a disease or something.

Infected half of my livestock and they're dead

I lost my:
-mated pair of oscellaris
-mandarin goby
-flame fin tang
-kole tang

if i lose any more i think im gonna have to break down the tank... I don't want to do this shiet anymore

 

[FOSELONE]

bummer...whered you buy the fish ???

 

[jessesoto33]

is it ick? do you have a quarantine tank? you can use NO-ICK with corals!

 

[Puffalicious]

not ich... i think it's brooknella

and i bought the fish from someone... not an lfs... i though it was going to be "safer", i guess not

 

[JOSE CASAS]

How do you treat brooknella?

 

[FOSELONE]

ive used quick cure with good results :top:

 

[JOSE CASAS]

Is it and in tank treatment?

 

[FOSELONE]

dont think so...i set up a seperate tank & added like 10 drops a day but also did daily water changes to it

 

[JOSE CASAS]

What is brooknella?

 

[FOSELONE]

clownfish disease...fungus i believe

 

[JOSE CASAS]

Oh thanks learn a new thing everyday

Brooklynia sucks! I got it in the second nano I set up. I lost a pair of percs, then another pair I tried to introduce a month later. It sucks leaving a tank fishless, but I think that is the most effective way of getting rid of it. Just do it for more than 4 weeks

Good luck Rega!

 

[JOSE CASAS]

Wow they can be in the tank for up to 4 weeks.

bummer bro...id hate to buy an expensive pair like some wyomings & they kick the bucket

 

[JOSE CASAS]

Do clowns just get it?

 

[Nanoreefbro]

Yep from what I understand it happens alot in wild caught clowns. But can be cured if treated right away...

 

[jessesoto33]

never heard of it

Thanks that really makes sense and now I know how some have died in the past.

 

[Puffalicious]

i don't think brook is just for clowns... my fish were fine before this new one.... this new one had it, then infected 1/2 of my fishes...

I tried dipping him in formaldehyde but he died the next day... then 2 days later my clowns

 

[FOSELONE]

i dont think so either...i think my borbs got it too...their fins started rotting
