Hello. I set up my old 55 gallon as a QT to treat ich on my PBT. I had battled it before in the display and lost a few fish months ago. I’ve decided to let the DT remain fish-less to hopefully remedy the ich/any parasites.
The QT tank was set up last Saturday and the fish were moved in on Monday. The yellow tang showed the first marks Friday and now the PBT shows similar symptoms. Both are breathing heavily. I’m inclined to believe it’s stress and will not dose tonight. Just need to make sure.
