Clown looking odd

[begginersluck]

Hi all, hoping someone can diagnose what's wrong with me clown. He's eating and swimming well but looks like peeling skin of some sort? Any ideas what to treat him for?

Ok.... 'was' feeding now isn't interested.

Look into Brooklynella..

 

[begginersluck]

That's what I thought it was. Remove asap?

 

[coralbandit]

If you are sure of diagnosis..
It is usually fatal.

I can't see what else it would be? I am not holding hopes for the clown but I'm concerned about the other fish in the tank. I don't have a qt set up at the moment so if it's removal it's not going to be a good thing for the clown

 

[coralbandit]

I would be more concerned with the other fish in tank also..$$$
Clowns cost pennies compared to some of your stock..

 

[begginersluck]

Yes exactly what I'm worried about. I'm going to remove him and set up a small at tank for him.

I assume hypo will work to some extent for brook? I will also get some other treatment for him even though I doubt he will make it

 

[coralbandit]

Hypo in isolation possibly with formalin baths or formalin in QT and fresh water baths...

Thanks coralbandit.

Let hope the other guys on the tank don't get infected.
