Sorry!May want to reattach, no video I can see
No worries. A clear pic under white light should do ok also. Hopefully not ich, but hard to say without seeing.
Ahh will it affect my other fish? I don’t have another tank.Gotta act quickly with this pathogen unfortunately...sorry for the bad news
unfortunately the answer is yes. If it is velvet,and it does look like it, your other fish most likely have it. Velvet acts fast and can wipe out a tank in a day or two.Ahh will it affect my other fish? I don’t have another tank.
highly infectious and most often lethal ...Ahh will it affect my other fish? I don’t have another tank.
I’ve picked up some reef safe antibacterial for velvet. Hopefully this saves him and my other fishYes. It will wipe out everything in your tank. Your clown may have a resistance to it, but it's not a gamble I would take.
If you're in need of a tank, even a 5g bucket with a heater and airstone will suffice until you get something else. But get it out of your display ASAP. Velvet is a take no prisoners disease.
Lets back up a second.I’ve picked up some reef safe antibacterial for velvet. Hopefully this saves him and my other fish
Velvet is caused by a dinoflagellate, a single celled organism. They are not bacteria, and thus antibiotics will not work. It needs to treated with a copper based medication or chloroquine phosphate, which must be sourced online typically. You could try a short freshwater dip (in treated water) for temporary symptom relief, but that won't cure it.I’ve picked up some reef safe antibacterial for velvet.

I bought this guy three days ago. I’ve noticed he’s covered in what looks like dust or white particles.
he’s eating normally and swimming around fine.

FYI - for everyone else reading - there is a hashtag [HASH=55964]#fishmedic[/HASH] that alerts about 8 people including @Jay Hemdal - So - for everyone else reading this. if you use this hashtag you're going to get a number of people Vetted by Jay - and who have access to his protocols. Each of us have kind of worked into our 'roles' and also at times discuss cases that are confusing. I tend to go after 'differential diagnosis' - as well as some recommendations. Others concentrate on other things - but - bottom line - if you have a question on R2R about fish disease, QT, medication etc - If you use that hash tag - you will get appropriate information .. PS - EVERYONE is able to answer any question on this forum. My point was that there is a system which many people are not aware its available.Listen to Jay here especially, he's far more an expert than the rest of us here
