(The author's Picasso breed A. percula in quarantine)
I recently ordered a pair of ORA's 'picasso' breed of percula clownfish (from a vendor who shall remain nameless) that arrived heavily infested with brooklynellosis. After a week in the quaraintine tank and lots of medication, my clownfish managed to pulled through. However, this led me to thinking "how often does the average hobbyist see this disease? Will they be able to identify and treat it quickly enough to prevent mortality? I should write a post about this!" Because brooklynellosis can kill very fast, quick diagnosis and treatment is essential.
What is brooklynellosis, you ask?
