Brooke in the past

[smallblock]

Last year I think it was in the fall I had an outbreak of what was believed to be BROOKE, Jenn said it could have been something else called amysomethinganother. I lost alot of fish. I lost my yellow tang, coral beauty, very small regal tang, a naked clown. My mated pair of yellow watchmen, Scooter Blenny and blue chromis never showed any signs of the disease and are still fine today. Do you think its safe to add another fish or what should I do to ensure that It doesnt come back

This is really impossible to answer. Especially without knowing what disease was the culprit. Something you should consider is that many diseases may be present, but not necessarily show any symptoms. For example, ick's usual first target is the gills. Just because you dont see spots doesnt mean that fish doesnt have ick parasites on it. So, your current can be carrying the disease, and a new addition, under the stress of transport, new housing with new, territorial fish, may be ripe for infection.

Sorry I couldnt offer more answers, but you'll either need to consider treating for what you thought you had, or just roll the dice.

I agree with Jeremy on that.

The illnesses that you're talking about were Brooklynella and Amyloodinium.

Both of them are a major pain in the wrasse. :lol:

Jeremy,

If that's true about ich, couldn't it be missed in QT? Or is the life cycle short enough?
