Greenhorn, you have offered nothing constructive to this discussion. What is your prupose here other than to start arguements? OP has lost one fish already, we're just trying to give him solid advice on saving the other one. If he didn't want to save it her wouldn't have asked for advise and just ignored symptoms until they were both dead.
How many times have you dealt with velvet? I'm 2 for 3 on saving fish that come in with velvet, all purchased from LiveAquaria. Once you've done that, and actually seen velvet... it sticks out like a sore thumb.
I pm'd him my number instead of giving half baked advice in piecemeal and my comments aren't for arguments sake, it's so you step back and consider how fast this whole process escalated. Your insistent advice may just get another fish, who is healthy, hurt. If a fish is eating and acting normal then let's take a breather. Remember that he is new to the hobby and in a panic. He isn't even that acquainted with the normal behavior of fish and your telling him it's a disease. As far as my experience, I've seen velvet, I don't buy fish with it, and I qt everything so in the remote case that I have had a fish with velvet it had been through the med cycle and is happy and healthy. So Robin, my comments have been towards OP and Barrett, what's your purpose of calling me out?
