Is this brook?

[KoTS]

I posted 2 pics of my clownfish below. I have all my fish pulled to a QT that I have been gradually raising up the copper in (currently 1.8 ppm copper safe).

Clown has been in QT since last Thursday.

Using copper because I suspected velvet at first.

Then it started to look more like brook. I did my second dose of General Cure yesterday. First was Tuesday. What I had on hand. But now I'm not certain it is brook, because no improvement at all, at least visually. Maybe I just need to give it more time to kick in. She seems fine. Swimming, eating, and seems to be breathing normally.

But I wanted to get opinions in the meantime. Are the pictures below brook? Or should I explore other options? I will keep dosing metroplex every 48 hours unless something else is suspected.

On hand I have metroplex, kanaplex, general cure, prazipro, coppersafe, and focus.

Thanks a ton in advance!

Yes that is brook.
You need to give them a formalin bath and then move to a fresh, sterile qt tank.

yea thats definitely brook

Ok. I'll order some formalin. None of the local places carry it. I'll hit her with a freshwater dip in the meantime.

Doesn't metro take care of brook though? Or only if you catch it soon enough?

I don't think Metro is considered overly effective. Ruby Reef Rally may be easier to find than formalin.

Got it. Thank you!

Just wanted to give an update a month later. Did the rally dip. She looked about the same for a week. Then hit the tank with kanaplex, metro, and furan-2 as she definitely had some fun rot going on.

That seemed to clear it up completely and everyone is happy. Another 30 days, then back in the DT! (76 total fallow; might as well cover for ich since all the fish were out anyway)
