what to do?

[Jimbos11]

I have two clownfish in a hospital tank. They appeared to have brook several weeks ago so I treated with formalin. Each fish cleared up and is doing well. However, one is still flashing against stuff in tank. Should I now treat with cupermin and if I do, when I do a water change do I put the solution in the water that I am adding in?

How long since the formalin treatment ended? I think its early to diagnose anything that Cupramine would cure. The brook could have left some scaring in the gills; just a guess. Did you treat the entire tank with formalin or do formalin dips? Were these fish exposed to other fish in your DT, or new arrivals ? If they were in the DT; are any other fish showing any signs pf parasites? Do you see any spots, breathing problems, skin problems? Have you run carbon to remove all traces of Formalin; it doesn't do well with other meds.

its been about a week since the the treatment ended. I treated the whole tank not a dip. The fish showed signs of brook or velvet however, they had it for well over a week before I could get everything set up and get them treated. Everyone said it was neither brook or velvet because they would have been dead. Not sure what else it could have been. All symptoms are now gone except for the one fish flashing. They never showed any symptoms other than a whitish film over their body. Once treated with formalin it went away. The fish are currently eating good and are very active. Not sure what to do now.
