If it's velvet, it's going to be all the fish, pretty or ugly. Hopefully I've caught mine in time, now I just need to keep them alive in the treatment tank.

It's annoying as I don't really have anything I can pinpoint as a carrier or cause. I don't live in the same house as where my tank is located so I won't be able to monitor daily nor have a quarantine large enough for all my fish. I was going to attempt Metronidazole bound to the fish food but we'll see how that goes. All I can say is that I know what you're going through right now.

could it be brooklynella? it's a fast killer too, but formaline or paraguard cure it in few days.

Take a look on google image for brooklynella and see if it match.

this is a clownfish with brook:




acriflavine is said to cure brook in about 2 weeks. So depending what it is, your med might just work.

I looked at this and yes, it almost looks the same. I figured though, that mostly it was a clownfish thing, and my clown is one of the happier fish today
But yes, it looks more like that than it does pics of velvet I've seen.

Brad, hang in there... If u need anything don't hesitate to ask . Will certainly help out. Have a spare 90 gallon, heaters and a few powerheads. If it is brooklynella cure it quickly... Brook wiped out all but my damsels five yrs ago. I'm still in shock after hearing you talking about it on Sunday. Your tank is a true piece of living art...

Thanks Wayne, I think I've got it covered. The big task is keeping water quality in the treatment tank. If you've got a mature canister filter jusy lying around.....

Ya, that's the hard to find part. Shelley lent me an aquaclear that I added some rock rubble, and I added another 5 pounds of LR, but it's not enough. making 50g right now and staying up late for a water change. Which sucks, since I have to get up at 5am!!

Shelley, this one is big enough, I'm just short on bacteria I've got a bunch of rubble under one of the foam blocks, but the water is a bit cloudy tonight and the fish are breathing a bit fast for my liking. I added some prime to the tank, so that should help with the NH3 a bit. I hope. New water in progress, although I should probably let it mix until morning.
