Somehow I am beginning to have a problem with brooklynella in my tank. I first noticed it on a tang i was keeping for a friend, that was about a week ago. I woke up Thursday morning to the tang dead, and my male clownfish was starting to get it also. I took the clown out and tried to treat it in a hospital tank, but I didn't have any luck and it died early Sunday morning sometime, which really sucks because it was my favorite fish in the tank. Now my jawfish has it and I am trying to get it out so I can try and treat it, but hes not wanting to come out of his hole he lives in.

I still have a YWG and the female clown in the tank but they look like they are still fine (no signs of it on them). Should I go ahead and take those two out and treat them even if they don't have any signs of it? I really don't want to loose anymore fish!
 
Yes. Brookynella is very contagious and very deadly. It is possible the fish may fend it off themselves, but more than likely not. I would treat all the fish.
