Another Brooklynella question

[adivedog]

I have a pair of true percs, the larger one has white on the sides. Noticed a couple of days ago that its left eye is clouding over too. After looking at the photo of the fish with Brooklynella, I would assume that is what is wrong, but it still eats like crazy, breathes fine, and shows no other symptoms. I would guess this white coloration on the fish has been there for a couple of weeks now, and from what I'm reading, if it was Brooklynella, the fish would be dead by now ??
I put it in a QT, but have not treated it with anything yet.
Any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks

Can you post a picture?
White coating can also be a bacterial infection. If the white coating is actaully shedding, it is more likely to be brook.

I'll try to get a decent picture. As far as I can tell, there is no shedding.

See if you can start using Maracyn Two for Saltwaterfish.

I couldn't find the maracyn two, but did get maracyn and started the treatment yesterday. I think it's startng to work, the eye looks a lot better today. Thanks a lot Beth.:joy:

Glad to hear it! Look around though for M2 and see if you can get it. Its the better choice for treating Marine Fish.
