I need to know what is the best way to treat it. I believed at first i had Ich until I looked at my fish closer and found that it is Brooklynella. I have lost 4 fish in a week. The remaining fish are in a QT already.

I will be at the meeting Thursday but that is still two days away and I kind of need to know now.

I have never actually had to deal with this parasite, but here's some quick research I found.

I'm sure my fish love me already with all the FW baths and dips. I think I know which little clown brought it into my tank. He has already died. Can I call that Karma?

poor little fishy

Oh I'm sorry to hear that you lost him, and 3 others! Also, I have some Furan if you want to have some on hand in case there is some outbreak of ich after this. (weakened fish and immune systems = higher likelihood of ich outbreak)
