Brook, velvet, ich, or something else? Please help!

Thanks for your reply. I suspected it might be brook based on my research. I’m in canada where its very hard to get fish medication and its hours to the nearest town. I bought some kordon rid ich plus online (which i believe contains formalin and malachite green). Its going to take a week to arrive

on hand, i only have pimafix, melafix, and erythromycin. Are any of those worth trying or just the freshwater dip?

Where are you I’m Canada. I get meds just fine just have to do some research. I will not introduce any fish without copper and prazipro learned my lesson

I've QT'd clowns in cupramine no issue. it was other more sensative fish like wrasses and angels that didn't do so well in it.

For what its worth, I believe Cupramine is one of the better options for sick fish since it seems to work faster than the likes of copper power and copper safe. Those options are gentler, but also slower working. if you are just QT'ing this clownfish, I'd stick with the cupramine, at least until any spots clear up.

the hanna test is showing 0.55 now. Is that alright?

Ugh.. so something is absorbing the copper..

the only thing i have in the tank is:
- water pump
- heater
- temperature probe
- media basket with seapora filter floss, fluval biomax, and a sponge.

should i start removing media?

More spots today…

If this is ich, how long does it take for the spots to go away

Is there anything else I can do for my fish? His tail is starting to get frayed.

i am currently treating with cupramine.

other medications on hand: metroplex, ruby reef rally, paraguard, prazi pro, copper power

maybe a rally bath?
