ok.. how about an about. the HYPO DT project continues. I have had my DT in hypo now since May 6th 2017. Almost a year.
I would note that the current fish I have almost all have been in the HYPO for this 11 months. So long term HYPO can be done.
Here is a list of the fish that were able to withstand the 11 months and are doing very nicely.
Pair of Scribble Angels
Bandit Angel
Regal Angel
Splendid tail wrasse
laboute Wrasse (one made it one did not make it )
Lineatus Wrasse (one made one did not )
Pair of clowns
Flangfin Goldflake Hybrid Pair
Blue line Angel
Yellow Corris Pair
Radiant Wrasse Pair
Following did not make it along the way. I do not attribute the HYPO to their death. I think I had some bacterial infections that they succumbed to. Then again perhaps some did not adjust to long term
Roseband wrasse
Maze Angel
laboute
Lineatutus
Bandit
Conspic Angel
black clown
I believe I lost those to perhaps intestinal worms and / or secondary infections. I say this because a few weeks back I did a Prazi treatment and General cure treatment and the fish seem to be doing nicely and active.
Another note. during the summer of 2016 when I started to raise it back up... some ick did keep back up. I am unsure if this was from not holding the 1.009 long enough or from putting in additional fish that did not go through a full QT treatment. I did add fish along the way of the past 10 months.. I started the hypo again back up in the summer after losing a fish to ick again. I am starting to raise the tank back up slowly again and can report more if anyone wishes to hear.
