Hi Guys,
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving for everyone.
So I’m bringing more updates on my situation. As many of you know I lost 12 fish in 40 hours about a week and a half ago. Pictures showed signs of velvet or brook. I immediately started a two QT tank and treated.
These last 2 days I’ve noticed that my blue hippo Tang was rubbing like crazy on the pvc pipes and taking a closer look I spotted a few white dots, same with my clown.
I’m assuming that it could be ich due to stress from the QT treatment. This morning already did a 90 minutes bath with formalin just to be on the safe side.
I was planning to start Copper next Wednesday to see if gets better. Should I stop Formalin and start Copper right away?
Question is could a fish develop another disease while in QT? Can I start dips with high copper concentration (cupramine or copper power) or there’s no such a thing as copper dips?
They are eating and swimming.
Please any help?
