Clownfish disease

[mark1187]

Hey all,

Recently I bought some wild caught blue line clowns, and they ended up having "clownfish disease" ... We quarantined and treated them as best as possible but they still didn't make it. Just wondering how long it will take for this parasite to die off in the tank, so that I can confidently put some more anemone fish back in?

Thanks!

I might be wrong but I think its 6-8 weeks.

For Brooklynella, that is reasonable. Err on the long side as this can wipe out tanks quickly. See the sticky above for details on treatment.
