Fish Fanatic
Yesterday morning I woke up and found my Tennent Tang was sideways in the tank "flopping" around.
I immediately ran to a pet store I trust and they told me that the fish would die and if I wanted to, I could bring him in and have a biopsy.
When I arrived home, my tang was dead. I drove the drive back to the store and they found that my fish had died.
They scraped the sides and found a Brooklynella Parasite and told me that I could not do much, as I have many invertebrates in my tank.
I was told to gradually lower the salinity to 1.018 and gradually raise the temperature to 83 degrees (each degree and amount of salinity in 24-48 hours) - but to closely watch that everything isn't getting to disturbed in the meantime.
Please help me if you have any experience in what to do with this parasite when housing invertebrates with fish (other than what I was told).
I am desperate to get everything healthy again and not to loose anything more!
Thank you!
