Help! Clownfish disease: Icthyophonus

[scavdog]

Has anyone dealt with this disease? My 3 yr old black ocellaris appears to be suffering from the disease. His symptoms are right on the money. However, at this stage it may be too late. He is not eating from what I can tell and the fungus is outwardly apparent.

Help!

Anyone have any phenoxyethenol? It seems to be my only option.

I thought this was a cold-water disease... doesn't look good though.

Joe,
I called the pharmacy here at the hospital where I work and was told it's a common ingredient in skin cremes. They recommend going to a CVS and have them look it up in their supply book, and maybe they can get you some. They did not have any here.

Joe, if it is a fungus, I would try saltwater maracyn or maracyn 2.
