i rang the guy at the shop to ask him the name of what he said i have (i am trying to put up a pic of the fish but photo too big will keep trying)
this:
Brooklynella Hostilis
This parasite infection is commonly known as "Clownfish Disease", because it is so frequently a problem with clownfish, especially wild-caught. Although it is seen most often in clownfish, other species can suffer from infection. Symptoms are usually noticed on only one or two fish to begin with, but it can spread rapidly. Brooklynella hostilis is fast acting and can kill in just a couple of days if left unchecked.
Some possible visible symptoms are the following:
• Increased mucus production
• Loss of appetite
• Turbidity of the skin
• String-like material hanging from the fish
• Increased respiration, or even open-mouth gasping
• Hyperactivity in early stages
• Hiding or reclusiveness
• Cloudy eyes associated with secondary bacterial infections
• Faded colors or discolored areas
• Lethargic in late stages
• Hanging at the surface or laying on the bottom in late stages of infection
• Rapid weight loss associated with dehydration, as fish lose their ability
to osmoregulate.
• Loose scales
• Secondary bacterial infections |
