Not sure what this is.

So, my Serial Killer Clown appears to be sick. Since he was the only guy left in the display tank, and noticed this, I pulled him out and put him into a 10g nuvo that I was setting up, just for him. When I first noticed this, i treated with PraziPro as directed in both my display tank and 10g solo tank. A week went by, thought all was good, the spot for the most part disappeared, and I decided not to dose him again it reappeared. Started the PraziPro again, this time just the 10g solo tank. I do have new fish in the display tank and noone is showing any signs (yet).

As mentioned, he is a serial killer. He killed 5 fish in the display tank and initially, I though the white spot was battle damage.

TD;DR - what is the whitespot? Just started second round of PraziPro, any other suggestions? He is solo right now.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic :\

Could be brooklynella with that slimy covering. Look at this thread and see if it's what you're experiencing.

well ordered Ruby Reef Rally off amazon. Seeing how LFS did not have anything in stock and having issues locating any of the other recommended meds on the list in a timely fashion. Need to go back and re-read the meds to have on hand post.

If you really want to save this fish, I recommend fresh water dips for 15min, (make sure temp. and PH match QT) every other day for 5 treatments. Leave your DT fishless for 8 weeks, during this time period if the clowns show symptoms of brooklynella repeat fresh water dips. It has worked for me.

15 minute freshwater dips is a bit extreme. 5 minutes is the max time in a FW dip that we recommend.

 

[Mr. Limpid]

Sorry had to re-read the article. Your right melypr1985 only 5 min. make sure to aerate. This is because the Formalin is no longer available.

Well, just did a fresh water dip (RODI) for 5 mins. There was a bunch of crap that fell off him. It was not medicated water yet, but nice to see some of the parasites fall off. Hope it gives me a little more time.

Is your display tank fish only?

He was pulled from my main tank since he killed everyone - it's in his own 10G nano now. Going to turn that into a frag tank with him as part of the bio load.

Well - Serial Killer did not make it though the night. I started my 1st day of Ruby Reef Rally. Now time to do a water change and run carbon for a while to clear out the med's. Time to get ready to set this tank up for a 10g frag tank.

Sorry for the loss. That sucks.
