raeh1 Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 I got a new clown to replace my one lost during flatworm treatment. But he has within days grown little cysts like white things on his face. None of my other fish has got or had anything like this. How can I treat diseases on marine fish. I don't think I can use typical freshwwater stuff. and the fish shops in Hamilton are still not up to speed when it comes to this. All ideas appreciated Cheers Ru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianemone Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 a fresh water dip might be a good idea, get the fresh water to the same ph and temp as you tank water and put him in for a minute or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveus Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 a fresh water dip might be a good idea, get the fresh water to the same ph and temp as you tank water and put him in for a minute or two You can actually do that without killing them?

Pies Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 A freshwater dip eh. Its so crazy it may just work! Funny mini story in the Joyce 'clownfish book' about freshwater dips. When she started she was told to keep this fish in the freshwater for as long as the fish doesn't look distressed or up to 15 minutes. She sais she has clownfish in freshwater for over 45mins, and not bothered at all, and feeding! hahahaha, as if there was any doubt as to how stupid clowfish are...
