I just got home and seen this on my clown, hes been in the tank a week, since i have gotten home, i have removed him back to the QT tank.

I dont have many meds, actually I only have Myacin, will this cure this disease? He is the only fish in the tank to have it. please any suggestions?

Myacin



Myacin is an effective, colorless aid in Freshwater & Marine aquariums for the treatment and prevention of: Molly and Tetra disease, fraying fins and body deterioration, popeye, reddened areas or gills, dropsy, and furunculosis. Myacin used as directed is safe for all fish.

yeah that will work,,,what other fish are in the tank? any one chasing him?...could also be a reaction to the anamone and his slime coat is thickening....does it look like the slime coat is thinner,,,peeling away from the center or like a coat has been added?

If so, dammed tough to get rid of...let us know, there are a couple of things to try...Have a quarantine/hospital tank?

I'd suspect it to be brooklynellosis, and would recommend treating it that way...
How long have you had the fish? Was it tank raised or wild caught? Did you quarantine it? If it's not a new fish, have you added any new fish or corals in the past 2 weeks?

Here's some good information on Brook. Follow the linkd to the FAQ's as well. I'll find some more info, but that would be my first guess.

2 weeks is a waste of your time...Quarantine needs to be a minimum of 4 weeks, and preferrably 6 weeks to allow the various parasites to go through all the various life cycles and stages...
I'm sticking with brook...highly deadly, and kills fast too..While it's known as the clownfish disease, it affects a lot of other fish too...kills them just as quick. About the only cure for the disease seems to be formalin, and if you're in California, you're out of luck, as it's illegal here...
Read the information I linked to...that's the best information I know of to send you to...
You can go to the clownfish and anemone forum at RC and post your pics there as well, but I suspect you'll get the same diagnosis.
