the same fish you posted earlier?

[HondaB20B]

Cause: Ciliate; Brooklynella hostilis

Description: Brooklynella hostilis is a ciliated protozoan that causes virulent disease in fish, especially clownfish and seahorses. Stress often precedes a Brooklynella outbreak. The parasite has a less complicated life cycle than other protozoan parasites, maturing and moving from one infected fish to another. It feeds on skin and blood, causing damage to skin, fins, and gills. Secondary bacterial infection is common.
Symptoms: Infection usually begins on the gills and goes unnoticed. It then spreads as a whitish film on skin and fins. Fish have labored breathing, stop feeding, and become very lethargic. Death follows quickly without treatment.
Treatment: Must be rapid, and best employed in a hospital tank.

Freshwater dips, with formalin and either methylene blue or malachite green.
Copper may not be effective alone, but seems to help when augmented with hyposalinity and freshwater dips.
Hyposalinity down to 1.010 - 1.013 mg/L.
Chloroquine phosphate.

Antibiotics may be needed to treat the secondary bacterial infections that result from the initial Brooklynella lesions.

Yeah, just the caribbean red snappers, ryan told me that they tend to get sick easily and die after a few weeks. It sure is a fast killer, gets a thick layer of mucus all over and debris sticks to it and they constantly flush water over their gills at the surface i'm guessing to wash off the suffocating mucus. The rest are fine, had an outbreak of ich when I first got them and it passed. Considering doing a meth blue treatment for the rest to try to eliminate ich in the system, but i use nsw for changes so dunno if it'll be redundant lol + it'll kill my biofilter, hopefully it won't resurface. Think i'll do a 'proper' setup next time around instead of wild caught fish and nsw..disease is a bummer.
