braaap Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Levels seem fine to me. Alk might be slightly high but not abnormal. How old is he? Link to comment
isaacharry Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 not sure maybe two years old. i heard it may be clownfish disease. can you link me to a product that will help? Link to comment
isaacharry Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 also, he has been like this for three weeks, and my other clownfish is not infected. they are both eating like pigs, can this be a sign of brooklynella? or would that have killed them both by now Link to comment
GlassHouse Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It sounds like brooklynella, except for the fact that he's had it for three weeks. If the clowns are easy to catch, I'd suggest one hour baths for both of them with paraguard. It's the best medication that you can usually find at a LFS quickly. It's also a broad spectrum medication, so if it's not brooklynella, the paraguard is likely to help. http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/52511-treating-brooklynella-with-seachem-paraguard-long/ Link to comment
