[enzopc]

Hi everyone I have more tanks with couple of clownfish ocellaris CB, when one day I saw at las a bacht of good healthy ocellaris wild caught and I take one for try and for have more genetics and in this point… problem start.
I quarantine all my fish , so I have in this tank only this clown and a six line wrasse, the day afther put the clown in the tank , there is a white/rose patch on body, him eat and don’t show synth is of stress, it already 2 weeks and this pacer very slowly go more bad, I can identify the diseae( sure no inch I velvet) maybe Uronema o brokynella? ( no slime o other thing) it like discolarion and now go also at fin, very different to fin rot, because before i think also at bacterial infections, can you identify this disease and how i can treat?

Pics are blurry and need closer and clearer pics. Wild caught clowns are more susceptible to issues and I dont want to say what it is as the same applies to other medic team members until we can clearly see the fish in whole

That looks like a syndrome that we've seen here quite a bit, that I call "clownfish bruising disease". We don't know the cause, or any treatment. In some cases, the fish recover, other times it is fatal. Here is a post I made about that:

Clownfish bruising/lesion?

All, Over the past two years or so, I've come across dozens of cases on the fish disease forum here of an issue with clownfish that we have not been able to identify. I've never seen it on any clownfish I've had myself, but the issue seems most common on designer clowns, which I don't work...

Update and I ask advice
the little wild clown going really well now , like Jay said it like a clownfish syndrome, in this case the spot discoloration first gone bad and how they start , now with the same slow time they gone, it almost all clean and the fish stay healthy. I want an advice, I will take a designer storm clown this Sunday and I don’t know if is good idea to put him in the same QT of this now or do another tank just for the new clown?


i think this syndrome is stress correlated, I used some dose of H2O2 ( 3 ml x 50 litres) for 10 days and this works for me, I also put medication with food

I generally avoid adding new fish to other fish that are part way through their own quarantine. It can introduce new diseases, and at the very least, will reset the quarantine time to zero.
