Help please

let's see if we can get Jeremy to chime in on at least a general disease treatment, especially since antibiotics seemed to get one fish better?

Anyway, either anitbiotics or getting your fish out (or both), seems to be helping, so do whatever it takes to get the rest out and into QT.

Huh?

Post a pic of the surviving fish. Brook is VERY contaguious to ALL fish, and needs to be treated. If you see sliming and sloughing tissue that looks like raw ulcers, that is probably brook. It is deadly. You need to treat. However, without some diagnosis or pics, were all just stabbing at the dark.

No sliming or sloghing tissue it looks like (on the male b&w clown big white patches on his belly. they are all breathing really hard though. I don't think I can get clear enough pics to help you guys.

Brook is almost always characterized by excessive slkiming and sloughing. Not always, but almost always. If you arent seeing that, then theres a better chance you dont have brook. However, velvet and uronema are also possibilities, and those are nasty too.

Keep doing water changes and keep that water clean, thats the best you can do until you can get a diagnosis. Unfortunately, it is VERY difficult to diagnose without pics.

I'm going to try to get pics once the lights come on but I can't garunty anything. It's not marine velvet, I know that for sure let me research uronema

Fish are sick in the tank, and now you are sick after being in that tank...

Did a doc verify that this is only a virus?

No he said it is the Swine Flue :tongue:.
I've been battleing this for the past couple weeks and it just suddenly got really bad. This is going around school so my mom and I are pretty sure it is just a bad virus.
