Sick clowns.

[lewreef]

Ive got a pair of clowns in qt as suspected ich from a tang that subsequently died.
One clowns had a few grain like specs when I put them both in qt. Everything seems to have cleared up from him but has had some lumps on his head ever since.

Now today my Other clown has some lumps over his body. I've took some pictures but they are rather hard to see on the camara.

The original sick clown had lumps on his head and I was told it was brook. But he's not lethargic he's eating like he's never been fed and he also doesn't have any slime on his body.
I've even given him a precautionary formalin bath and it didn't change anything thay I could notice.

They've been in qt for over ten days now with copper power at 2.5ppm checked with hanna hi702.

If anyone has any info of what they think the issue is any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Can’t open video on my device but they are susceptible to both ich and secondary bacterial lesions often confused with ich. Will be able to view video shortly as I’m at a grocery store

Those spots are too large to be ich. Brooklynella doesn't cause "spots". The spots I can see look raised up, do they look like that in person?

If whole body and both sides, can be ich…. If just the back/too- may be bacterial lesions often associated with brooklynella

These could be microsporidian cysts or encysted digenean trematodes - there aren’t any pet store treatments for these ailments, but they aren’t always fatal.
