White thing on clownfish

[Arronpsw]

anyone know this is? It seems to be some white thing near his gill, he isn't as active as he use to be but still eating. Only one part of his body has this. Anyone know what it is?

Bro, looks like velvet to me...

[Arronpsw]

The fish will probably die right

[asg]

Depends on what you willing to do to increase its chance of winning the battle lah

[Arronpsw]

Quite strange how it has velvet. I only added a coral recently. Anyways, how do i treat it?

[asg]

You can google more infor and methods of treating it.

For me i will do 10-20% water change daily till the fish recover or mati, whichever happen fast. Will also feed it with doctor g anti parasites cavair for three weeks.

Btw, are your water parameters ok?

[Arronpsw]

All my parameters seems fine. Lps doing very well, damsels also doing well. Suddenly yesterday when i woke up the clown have this white spot. He seems lethargic but other than that not much difference. If it really is marine velvet do i have to tear down the tank?

[Arronpsw]

Online mostly states how velvet is very lethal, not much about how to cure. I also don't have another spare tank to medicate the fish so probably will mati...

Do you have QT? If you have, it'll be good if you can quarantine at a lower salinity... It improves their breathing... After that, treat with Dr G anti parasites... At least infection to other fishes will be kept at minimal...

Where can i buy that?

[Arronpsw]

Sadly i don't have a qt, so i have no idea what to do now

[asg]

start by doing water change on your DT...

[Arronpsw]

Okay will do asap

[Arronpsw]

After reading up a lot, i have concluded that my clown has got lymphocystic. It didn't show symptoms of velvet or ich as described online. Anyone know how to cure this?

[Sengreef]

this is brooklynella or so called clown fish disease ... try google how to do a proper formalin dip (me never success with this b4) or can try on Interpet7 medication work very well on brook but not reefsafe ...

[Arronpsw]

I don't think this is brooklynella, I've had this clown for sometime already and it showed no signs of it. I have not added any other clowns that might have pass the disease
