Hi

Can someone please help to advise what disease is this clown suffering from?

He looks a bit thin but is still feeding normally.

At the chin, there seems to be a "skin" peeling off.

There is also a white flake mucus on the body.

Is it contagious and should I remove it to a QT?

formalin not easy to get.

try befuran. works for me on my clowns. availabe at C328. dip strongly.

all the best.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Hyposalinity will slow the disease down, but will not kill it. Maybe hypo the fish first while you look for formalin? So far the only known cure for brookynella is formalin.

Always something more important than fish.

henry have befuran as well.

careful on befuran and formalin. both are carcinogenic upon contact, especially formalin. do wear gloves.

before dipping, dip in freshwater for 5minutes. shake the fella up if he lay on its side.

befuran, use a bag to 5liter of water, dip for half an hr to an hr. airate strongly through out.

do it everyday till it gets better. i did it 3 times. by the 2nd time, the clowns starting eating again.

after treatment i put it back into tank's betta.

it works for me. can talk to henry as well for more info on that.

all the best.

Sorry to disappoint you guys. The fish was already half dead this morning and deceased in the afternoon.

Thanks for all your help though.

Kinda skeptical about getting another clown now.

get medication before hand before u buy clowns.

brook is well known to kill a fish as soon as 8hr upon infection.

beside medication, time is the cure as well.

all the best.

sad to hear tt. Maybe in future for those fishes tt commonly come down with these deadly diseases can practice qt? I'm thinking of setting up a qt tank for the next fish I'm eyeing too. As the tank establishes and you have got prized LS, you wouldn't wanna risk not qting and wipe out the entire fish population.

Cannot be help sometimes when u choose yr clowns....2 weeks ago when i went to reborn, i saw some nice saddlebacks...but they were breathing very heavily, not very healthy.

Sealife has a few very bright red tomato clowns, 1/2 inch and a pair of black clowns...can take a look....quite healthy.
