As an FYI to @Thuan , @stoney7713 and others, this was a NYAquatics fish. I don't fault them, uronema is almost impossible to beat. I've had the fish in QT since Jan 29th. The big problem with uronema is that it can take awhile to show.
It started to show a red spot in QT, so I added metroplex to the tank as well as the fish being in therapeutic levels of copper. The problem is metro mostly stops transmission, not reversing the disease from what I've read. I also added it to the food, but intercellular uronema is almost always fatal.
I ordered Ruby Rally Pro since people were having anecdotal evidence that it works. I followed a 5 day 3ml per gallon protocol and daily baths, but it seemed to get worse. I ordered formalin and isolated this fish from the rest in a 5g bucket with copper, heater and an air stone.
Anyways, just dipped in formalin and the fish passed. I'm bummed, but now I have more tools and methods to validate. I was trying not to go the formalin route, but now I kind of wonder if I should have ordered it first.
I feel bad for the fish.
Just realized.. you aren't supposed to use formalin on a fish with red sores per humblefish. I guess since you have it at hand maybe use it on the next one immediately perhaps? That's why I don't have chromis.Was trying to fight Uronema. You can follow the story on Humblefish forum.

Yeah, I realized that too. Forgot and remembered after I started. I pulled the fish after 9 minutes. Either way it wasn't doing good.
Nothing from these auctions but my purchases from prior auctions and sale arrived the other day
