My Clownfish likely has Brooklynella (Thanks QS!), I called every LFS in my range and none have Formalin in stock. The LFS I usually go to reccomended a freshwater dip and said they have have really good luck with Clowns in the area that had similar parasites. I am not the first person to get a Clown like this from the local PetCo.
Anyway, I was told to put the fish in a small container with water from my freshwater tank for 5 minutes (depending on how the Clown reacts), then dunk the fish in two containers of water from my saltwater tank to make sure no parasites that fell off make it back into the salwater tank. I have a bunch of clean gallon jugs I am going to use for this.
My big question is, can I add anything else to the freshwater dip to help with this? I can get copper meds and other stuff locally without a problem, just not Formalin for some reason
