    Has anyone ever heard of or experienced a fish kicking Brooklynella on its own with no meds.?
    It wiped out two of my clowns. Then last night my Yellow Tang caught it. Before bed he looked REALLY BAD. This morning I expected it to not make it through the night. Strangely he is alive and looks much better.. keeping my fingers crossed.

    It's possible, although brook is supposed to be a fast killer, fish are naturally exposed to diseases in the wild and they beat them. I would definitely continue supplementing its diet with fortified foods.

    Im giving him formula two and OSI spirulina flakes. They both have garlic in them.
    I cant believe he actually ate this morning. I really cant see him making it through this. My LFS may take him for quarantine because I haven't been able to set one up.
