Proper diagnosis and treatment

[Brieninsac]

I've had 3 Green Chromis in quarantine for the last 2-weeks. I've done 40% water changes weekly and my water parameters have been normal. Today I noticed one has white stringy poop, breathing heavy and isn't eating. From what I've seen online it sounds like Brooklynella. If so, what's the best treatment for it? I have Cupramine on hand if that would be an appropriate treatment.

See this thread.
Make sure you do a full water replacement after the last treatment.

I'm sorry but that link was of no assistance.

Unfortunately, the Chromis in question was dead this morning. After further research it appears to be Uronema marine, which is common in Chromis. I'm going to by some Sachem ParaGuard and start treating the other two remaining. Hopefully I can catch it before it gets them too.

The link should help, there is a section on uronema. If it is uronema then you must act quick and I do not think paraguard will be effective agains uronema. good luck

Ya I was reading that last night. Definitely offered more insight to what's going on.
