What disease is this?

[xnaz]

So I have a pair of clowns that have been in my tank for 5 months now. Basically when I started after the tanked cycled. I was doing my testing yesterday when I noticed a bunch of white spots and lines on them. Can anyone help me identify what it is.

Definitely will need to see these fish taken under white lights ASAP. Are they breathing heavy or off their feed?

Pics very blue BUT I can see the milkiness/mucus on the body of clown.

I went to my LFS and they said brook but I won’t count out velvet.

They seem fine with breathing and they still eat nonstop when I put in food.

Seems to me like brook. Maybe try seachem focus+metro mixed with food if you don't QT.
