Water parameters

I think the latest pair of clown purchased must be having some infection brought by them .
Did freshwater dip but gives temporary relif
Help me!!!! I dont want that last one to die
Any medication or antibiotics anything that will make him servive. And also let me know procedure of giving those

With clowns we usually think Brooklynella as the culprit. Can you tell us the symptoms the fish are experiencing.

A picture and a run down of symptoms would also be incredibly useful.

There are no white substance or spots on clowns but they are not eating for 2 3 days and dieing

 

[Rahul1129]

No spots no infection externally its something wrong internally
This is the last one alive

Is their poo white and stringy?

Yes

That is usually indicative of internal parasites. Praziquantel is the recommended treatment.

It's safe to use in tank or as a bath.

Is this nice??

 

[declanisadog]

Nope. I think API General Cure has Prazi in it though.

 

[Rahul1129]

Nope. I think API General Cure has Prazi in it though.

So should i buy api general cure??

 

[declanisadog]

I would. It also has metronidazole in it though which is not as reef safe. You will want to treat the fish in a separate quarantine tank.

Yes i will. But the problem is there is no LFS keeps it so i need to order it online and so will take 2 to 3 days till the time i wont think he would be alive. So till that time any other thing could help him stay alive .

We need to back up a little bit. How long has this tank been set up? What is you SG?

I am not convinced that internal parasites are killing all of your fish this quickly, but the above mentioned meds are definitely worth administering regardless.

 

[declanisadog]

If they are responding well to freshwater baths, I would continue with that. Considering that and the mortality rate you are experiencing, I am still inclined to think it could be brook.

Any cleaning chemicals used around the tank? Bug sprays, air fresheners, hair products? Anything aeresolized really.
