[Nato88]

Got the fish out and in a quarantine tank with formalin 37% they are eating well the fish that are still alive I think it brook but not 100% sure...

I have lost 2 clown fish
1-purple dotty back
1- splendid manderin
1- sailfin tang
1-shoulder tang
1-blenny


I still have
1-purple tang
1-yellow tang
1-blue tang
1- betta
1- red hawk

the dead fish had dull colour cloudy eyes clowns had like there protective coating trailing behind them..

the fish that are in a quarantine tank are eating fine... there skin looked good till a few days later 3 to be exact than it’s come back maybe cause the parasite has reproduced and wat not well there cycle tank is 5 years old I got it 4 months ago so still new to this anyone help me out before I give up on this hobby..


I added a few videos first one is when they were starting to look ok than second one is with the parasite again..

I can't see a video. Don't give up! It's just a setback.
Did you QT them at first before you put them in your DT?
How do you think they got exposed?

Yeah I did qt not sure why my video didn’t work I’ll send u it I haven’t added fish for 4 weeks I have read that clown fish host it than water perimeter went to crap cause my test kit was faulty (Red Sea)

Hey Nato88 I am sorry you are going through this as I know its really tough situation. Don't give up as I know its hard to keep your chin up as your fish are struggling but the truth is at this point they are relying on you and I think you can do it!!

I went ahead and uploaded your vids to facebook as that is unfortunately what we have to do for people on phones. Looks like they are the same video so if you had a second on upload it and we can get it over to Youtube.

Video One:

The way you describe the issue it sounds like you are right in regards to the Brooks. In the video I think I was seeing some redness as well so it might be Uronema as well. The good news is that you using formalin will help with both Brooks and Uronema so that is awesome. I would suggest that you did it in a bath if you are able as I feel like it is more effective but you can also treat the tank as well. I am sure you have already come across this but here is a bit of info.

Formalin

FORMALIN Formalin (37% formaldehyde) What It Treats – Marine Velvet Disease (Amyloodinium), Brooklynella, Uronema, Flukes (Monogeneans), Black Ich (Turbellarians). How To Treat – In order for Formalin to be fully effective, the product you are using should contain 37% formaldehyde. At present...

Also here is the Brooks Thread:

Brooklynella

Brooklynella hostilis What You Need To Know: * This is most often seen in clownfish, but it can afflict any fish. The fish’s skin will appear to be peeling or sloughing off, oftentimes causing excessive white mucous to form around the affected area(s). * Treatment of choice is a 45 minute...

And the Uronema Thread:

Uronema marinum

Uronema marinum What You Need To Know: * These are the red sores most often seen on chromis damsels; however it can afflict any fish. * Treatment of choice is a 45 minute formalin bath (e.g. Quick Cure), followed by transfer into a new/sterile QT. * Once in QT, it is very important to do...

You can match up what you are seeing to some of the images provided. Lastly I would suggest this part of the post as well.
"Post bath, transfer the fish into a clean/sterile QT to prevent reinfection. Then dose Chloroquine Phosphate once (60 mg/gal) or metronidazole every 48 hours for 10-14 days thereafter. This is to ensure all of the parasites have been eradicated. Remember to also food soak metronidazole during the QT period in order to eliminate the internal parasites as well."

I hope this helps and again I am sorry you are dealing with this. I will call in some of the big guns to take a peak at this to make sure what I am seeing is correct

@Big G or #reefsquad would you agree with what we are discussing here?

Read up on Brook and velvet, and read the stickies on QT and going fallow (fishless) in the DT. You will need to leave the DT fallow for the prescribed time period, and make sure you've fully eliminated the parasite in the fish before reintroducing them to the DT. A pain, but if you do it right you will eliminate this ever happening again.
