Clowns have Brook. Where can I get formalin?

[Vapour1ze]

I live in Yorkville. I need formalin like yesterday, anyone know where I can pick some up? Please let me know!

I had to order through petsolutions. I could not find any at local fish stores, I called 10 of them. If my bottle comes in today I can give you some. I am near Dekalb

Ordered from them an hour ago. Paid for expedited. They said I will have tomorrow. If something goes wrong and I won't have tomorrow I will pm you. Thanks for the response!

I would consider using Paraguard in case your diagnosis is incorrect or there are other issues to deal with.

I am already running cupramine in the qt. Can I do paraguard with copper?

I have an almost full 4oz bottle of it you can have, I'm in buffalo grove near 53 and Dundee rd. You're welcome to it. Found it today while I was going through my fish stuff.

I am using paraguard and formalin on my new blue stripes in quarantine right now. Think its brook but not for sure.

No. You cannot. You also cannot mix formalin with cupramine either. That will kill all your fish.

Thanks everyone! I actually got some paraguard, and formalin in the mail today. However, I am running a QT right now with both clowns using Cupramine... The tank is fallow and will remain that way for 10 more weeks... If I don't see a drastic improvement with copper or worsening occurs. I am going to rid the copper and start with formalin dips...

Thank you everyone for the offers!!! Only the female (black ocellaris) has what looks like brook, although it could be Velvet too, I don;t know... I lost my Kole tang last week to Ich for sure, so it could be Ich too I'm not sure... All I know is it's been 72 hours since the black one has been in QT, and she's showing better life! We'll see what happens... If it gets worse I may do a formalin dip and leave the copper going as well... But not mix them!
