is brooklynella the end for my mated clown pair?


i just bought them 3 days ago, they looked fine, but have this brooklynella pretty badly. it just went from nothing to looking horrible in one day.

from what little i can find online, this is pretty much the end, huh?

any ideas? beatiful couple they are, black mated pair, so sad.

formalin, you can dip, but if you do not feel they are strong enough for it I had one that was 2 drops per gallon, everyother day til clear then repeat in 10 days. I also maroxy and maracyn 2 to combat secondary infections.

You will need to use a quarantine tank b/c it will kill all inverts and bacterias and you will want to use an airstone b/c formaldehyde binds with O2. If you have no fish in the tank you should let it sit at least 6 wks, to kill what protoazos that might still be in it. Also you do not want sand or rock in b/c it will absorb the medications making them less effective.

Copper will do nothing to the brooklynella.

I am at the 10 day make with my percula now, I got him out as soon as I noticed it, but I still have a hippo and 2 firefish in the tank which I am monitoring closely, I don't have a tank large enough to get them all out into for treatment so I am crossing my fingers.

from my reading on this disease is that it is a strictly a clownfish disease. I dont think i have heard of another species of fish getting brookynella. But i may be wrong.

I wish you luck on your clowns.

just an update:


you can see that i started this thread after 10pm when i noticed the issue with them both. with my qt occupied, i had to wait till the morning to hit my lfs for more meds and perhaps a small tank.

they didn't make it till morn.

lesson learned. extra qt in the garage...

Bummer, sorry to hear that. I love black perculas, the extra qt would be a good idea though.

Really sorry to hear about the loss. Brook affects clowns and cardinals.
