I posted last week about a sick gramma, and consensus on video was ich. She passed, but I have the clown tankmate in hospital tank dosed with cupramine. Today his slime coat appears to be sloughing off. Now I am Looks like later stage brook pictures. Did 5 min FW dip, to buy time. Should I do formalin dip (if I can even find it) and return to fresh mixed cupramine?

Before that, please post a you tube video under bright white light intensity for confirmation. I can say if you are fortunate to have formalin, do a bath as it will address both brook and ich

No lights on hospital tank. I will move lights to get video tomorrow. Attached is 3 days ago before he was moved to hospital tank. He has always swims in the current like that during feeding time. He looks better after fw dip

. LFS thought velvet based on video from a few days ago. I am just afraid if it is brook, that I won't be able to find formalin. It's carcinogen warnings are also ominous.
