After I woke up this morning, my husband comes into the bathroom and says, "What's this thing hanging from your powerhead?" Uh-Oh....so I go look and it's my feather duster. Completely out of its tube and so I gently pulled it out of the ph and tried to nudge him back into its tube....had to get...

Cool...Thanks Cranberry! I appreciate it!

I haven't seen him since I took those pictures...so I guess he's fine in there for now. What about the Nass eggs? Are those something I should just leave there? Will I end up with a Nass explosion? Or should I scrape them off the glass?

No, not really....I just did a search for pictures and this is pretty much what it looked like. It was labeled as a ribbon worm???.......

First 2 pics are of this red worm I found crawling around on a rock with mushrooms. Totally red and almost stringy. No bristles or any marks of any kind that I could tell. He's moving towards the back of the rock. Last pic - I think are Nass Snail eggs? Do I leave them there? Scape them off...

I have read the post and am administering with care.....I appreciate the help.

Ohhhh....darn it! Guess I need to treat my clown again. Thank you so much for the clarification Beth.

The suggested treatment for Brooklynella is a Formalin bath. The post found on these boards states 20 drops per gallon of water. Yet my bottle of Formalin says 2 drops per gallon of water. I followed the bottle's 2 drop/gal instructions but was curious about the discrepancy. Can anyone answer...

Now that I have done further research, I think he had Brooklynella.....symptoms are exactly what I witnessed...Live and learn.....

Well, my little guy didn't make it through the night. But I expected that. Thanks for all the help AND support....

Well, I hope my co-workers don't mind my puffy eyes tomorrow....I've boo-hooed enough to make them the size of small pillows! Yes, I have learned....this new 30g I am inheriting was going to become a brackish tank but I now know to make it my necessary QT. I should be getting all the equipment...

Yes, I've read all the threads of the life cycle of Ich and that I will need to treat the tank even after the affected fish is gone...My clown is in a large bowl right now with tank water - no PH or anything...I just don't have the extra equipment yet. I feel like the most absolute horrible...

Thank you Salt Life.....unfortunately I don't have the spare equipment. I guess that's what I get for getting into the hobby, wanting advice and then not being able to follow it. So instead, I sit here in tears, beating myself up for not having a QT. When I inherit this tank next week I know for...

Guess I should put my husband there too since he's irritated I'm more concerned with my fish than I am with him.....I am inheriting a 30 gal tank next week that I will turn into a QT.....I don't know if my clown will even make it through the hour.....

I posted in the clown forum but haven't heard a thing....... My clown is almost on his side....looks like ich....got a cleaner shrimp but he hasn't found my affected clown. I have no QT tank. I can't treat with hypo or copper - have inverts... Do I just watch him die? Take him out now and...

I haven't gotten any help...and my fish looks worse and just sitting on the bottom....I don't want to just watch him die...anyone???

Well I feel discouraged. After reading the informative thread about ich and treatment and the many long and debated ways to prevent/cure/treat...here's my deal. I have inverts so I can not try hypo. I don't have a QT...I know...don't yell at me...Maybe I should try a water change and see if he...

Sue: I hope for both our sakes, the very knowledgeable people here will help us out! I have come to just love my little pair of clowns and so hope I can fix what ever may be wrong! And did you say storm? What I wouldn't give for some RAIN!!!!

The one in the corner did not eat when I fed them last night. Also, this morning I see the faintest of white spots on him. Darn it! So what do I do now?? Also I'm thinking that the other one will be the female. It's dorsal fins are just a hint bigger, stand up more and I'm thinking it might be...
