I would treat with paraguard. if you don't know the nature of the illness it is best to get a broad spectrum medecine. Paraguard cure bacterial infection as well as external parasites and fungus.

Here are some new pics from tonight...sorry they're fuzzy....she's jerking around at the top.... Note the sunken area around her jaw....and her entire lower mouth area from the gills forward is hazy white coloured. Her eyes look very weird as well....maybe just dialated....not cloudy though.

I'm no expert ...
If that's the diagnosis, why are the spots so pronounced ? In other words, is freshwater ich that much smaller than saltwater ? |

Ich is not brooklynella. Similar though. Ich is the defined spots very similar to freshwater ich. Brooklynella is a similar parasite but the symptoms/signs are different.
I'm no expert either and in no way can I be sure of what it is. Brooklynella has my vote. |

If it's brook paraguard should take care of it in about 3 to 5 day you should see improvement. I hope the fish is not too far gone.
It's been a long time though..and brook is a fast killer, as well as marine velvet so I doubt it is that but you never know. I would do a one hour dip at first at dip concentration (written on the bottle) and watch the fish. if it is a parasite, that dip should improve the fish condition to begin with. Looking at the pic of the fish..this is urgent now. He's in bad condition.
