Can clownfish disease kill all of my fish or just the clowns? My two clowns got it and now it looks like my butter hamlet may have it. I have the clown in a hospital tank and have dosed with formalin. Problem is that hamlet is too fast to catch. However, if it's going to infect all of my fish I'm going to rip that tank apart to get him. Thanks

If you think this disease is bad, one of my fish just came down with Long Island Flu.

What the heck is that? And what kind of clown is that in your avatar?

Brook is not specific to clowns and spreads very quickly. You'll need to treat any fish with symptoms pretty quickly to avoid loss.

Good luck

Just as Beerguy said, it can be transferred to other fish. They will need to be treated ASAP.
More info about Brook (http://www.wetwebmedia.com/brooklynellosisart.htm)

And something you should think about doing from now on Quarantining you fish (http://www.wetwebmedia.com/QuarMarFishes.htm)

Good luck and I hope they all make a full recovery! :)
