Save your fish!

[Kathy55g]

Quaranteen everything wet: snails, corals, and especially fish.

Seems to be Brooklynella season, and although all my captive bred clownfish are parasite-free, Brook is out there, and it will kill clownfish very quickly once they are exposed to the parasite from wild caught fish or fish exposed to wild caught fish.

It will take 6 weeks of fish free time to clear your display tank of the parasite, so


Quaranteen for 4-6 weeks, anything you buy.

FYI

Good luck,
Kathy

Wow, fish flu, Maybe that is what I had. Took 7 of my fish.
But knock on wood, the four that I had left on Monday are still here. In fact the Sailfin Tang is actually starting to look better. most of the spots and the filmy stuff that was all over him is gone.

glad to hear your fish are better.

Setup my first QT tank today! I'd hate to see my clownfish die!

We had problems with that last year I thought it was velvet. Very wicked stuff it was around this time now that I think about it.
