So in the past 2-3 days, my new clownfish showed symptoms of what I assume is brooklynella.
I had fish with brook in the past so I started treatment right away.
Where I live, formaldeheyde is illegal to sell, so I'm doing a 5 minute FW bath followed by a 60 minute metronidazol bath, and dosing a small amount of metronidazol into the QT.
Yesterday, I talked with someone that had similar issues who recomended me to buy "eSHa Exit" which contains formaldeheyde and green malachite.
The seller sold me the remedy but was vary wary, as he said it was used for freshwater fish, not saltwater, and it was very dangerous.
I ended up not using the remedy, cause I didn't have enough info.
I continued my normal baths, but the fish seem to not be responding anymore.
I didn't do a freshwater dip followed by the metro bath so I'm thinking maybe that was it.
You can see in the video some white spots in it's head, and some in his dorsal fins.
My question is: is this brook, or is this ich? And how can I treat any of them, being that I can't buy pure ingredients anywhere.

PS: the fish are active and still eating.
