Urgent Possible brooklynella or some thing else?

[the green goby]

Ive have had this clownfish for about 2 weeks now and have treated it in hypo with pimafix and melafix. It has white hazy patches on it(they kinda went away but came back), Im not sure if it's brooklynella or what. Should I treat with furan-2 or rid ich+(contains formalin).

I was thinking about treating it with furan-2 and doing rid ich dips, should I do any thing differently?

Not sure if I should treat this as brook or some kind of other bacteria or fungus.

Can you post a pic? We have no idea what your fish may have.

FWIW: IMO, Primafix & Melfix are worthless, just herbal voodoo products. I've never heard of either of them doing anything and they claim to do everything.

Looks like Brooklynella.

I'm treating the qt tank with rid ich+ and I'm going to do a dip 10x the regular dose.

He doesn't look terrible but the dips should help. I've been treating a Hippo and he looked on deaths door and 4 days after with daily dips he has recovered nicely.

I treated the tank and did a dip yesterday. Today he barely has any white stuff on him any more. I'm going to keep on treating him for 11 days, i think that's how long you're supposed to treat..

At what point can I consider my fish healthy and ready to go into my display tank with other fish? Really don't wont to infect my other fish.

On day eight now still dipping him every day and treating his QT tank. I upped the dose a little bit more with great success. About 99% of any visual signs are gone but his tail is a bit more ragged than I remember.

Bump..

Just to update, the clown is doing great. So the treatments I tried worked out well. Though he did get a bacterial infection while in QT but I treated that with furan 2.
