    Just talked to the wife. He isn't moving much. I don't think he's gasping. She said he is pale like I noticed but it didn't look like the skin is coming off.

    The other fish in the tank are still acting fine.

    Well that is a good sign that he is not gasping since doesn't sound like the parasite is in Gills and not sliming. You maybe lucky in the sense that it was stressed from bullying. Just keep eye on him and other fish and double check all parameters. Good luck

    So in case anyone is following along. I got home from work that night and the clown did not make it. I've been watching my other fish closely and they have not had any issues at all.

    unfortunately i understand it does happen. Still wary of Brooklynella but am glad the other fish are still healthy.

    Then the only thing you can do now is just keep close eye on everything parameters and other fish. Watch the others for the signs. I think you will be ok though. Sometimes things just happen with no reason of knowing. Wish you the best
