    I purchased this clownfish 2 days ago. She is in quarantine and looked just awful after the first day. She had a thin white coating on the right side of her body that was kind of "sloughing" off. I gave her a formalin dip (actually in a high concentration of quick cure) for about 45 minutes and then treated her quarantine tank with 10 drops of quick cure (it's a 10-gallon tank).

    She is starting to look a little better and is no longer just laying on the bottom of the tank. The white coating is gone, but has been replaced by what white "bumps" on the same side. This is too large to be ick. Do you think it is a secondary infection from brooklynella - or some other type of parasite?

    Any recommendations for her continued treatment? Thanks for your help!
