Any help with this?

[CorbinSawyer]

Hey all,

So I got a clown on March 2nd. Quarenteened for 3 weeks. Placed him in my DT that has 1 duncan, 1 plate, 3 mushrooms, three polyp frags and Kenya tree. Other livestock is peppermint shrimp, red legged hermit, blue legged hermit, and neon blue goby. April 3rd color on most rear black line began to fade. Started developing a whitish color on one side. I was away so my wife went to LFS and described it. They said it was brook and told her he would die soon. I got home Monday and he died last night (April 27). My understanding is brook would've killed him long ago. So Im hoping you could help with diagnosing so I can Quarenteen my goby aND how long to leave the tank empty.

I have pics after he died but didn't know the rules to posting dead fish pictures.

Parameters
Nitrate <5ppm
Nitrite 0
Phosphate 0
Ammonia 0
Calcium 500
Dkh 11
PH 8.1-8.2

Thanks in advanced

It could be brook, but from my understanding if it is brook then you have to reboot the tank as it can survive without fish in it, it'll find other organisms, but I may be very wrong. Clowns usually bring in brook, yes.

Fallow period for brook is six weeks. (you are thinking of uronema)

Thanks... fallow for 6-8 weeks. Should I treat that goby since he's coming out anyways? If so, what would you recommend?

Brook is generally treated with formalin dips.
