Hi all,

My clownfish and yellow wrasse have white spots with rotten fins.

It has been about a month for yellow wrasse and a couple days for clownfish.

They eat and swim well. My pair of clownfish don’t get along and they have their own territories, left and right side.

Are these lympo or some infections?
What is this and how can I treat this?
Sorry about bad quality pictures. I tried my best.

Ouch. Clown has brooklynella which you can tell by the amount of slime on it which can and has developed into a secondary bacteria now also affecting the wrasse. Treatment will be broad spectrum such as Maracyn 2 or seachem Neoplex in a quarantine setting for 5-7 days

Thank you very much for the clear answer. At least I know what to do.

I don’t have Maracyn 2 or seachem Neoplex. Would Melafix or Seachem Paraguard work or are Maracyn 2 and Neoplex the most effective treatment? If so which one do you recommend out of those two?

I don’t mind buying them if they are the one. I used paraguad and melafix before but it disnt help, so I am little afraid to use them anyway.

Melafix is useless in marine use as it is merely teak tree oil and view as a tonic and Paraguard is ineffective in most cases and Yes, the two mentioned are proven and effective.
You can give the fish a freshwater dip in a CLEAN container for up to 5 minutes which will offer temporary relief and use the paraguard ay 80% to have something working until you get the required medications as it has effect on bacteria with formalin BUT Do NOT make this the treatment needed
