10-14 days and if I remember they recommend a 25% WC daily.

I could be wrong (I haven’t used NFG yet personally) but I think @HotRocks has mentioned not using NFG with copper. Rather using the trifecta, and following with NFG after copper? Maybe he can chime in and set me straight lol
You are correct. No setting straight needed. I would advise against the use of NFG with copper. It contains antibiotics + methalyne blue. The methalyne will completely wipe the biofilter. The combination of all the meds and dying bacteria creates far too low of an oxygen level.I could be wrong (I haven’t used NFG yet personally) but I think @HotRocks has mentioned not using NFG with copper.

I did not know that. Thanks for that info. I have used nfg with copper in the past with 0 issues. Just sayingYou are correct. No setting straight needed.

NFG is best used in a sterile tank without a working biofilter using prime to combat ammonia. Or adding biospira to a new tank so the biofilter is established in the presence of NFG.
I have used them together as well. If you only had a couple of fish in a fair sized tank, you may not incur the oxygen issue. Heavily stocked QTs are in major jeopardy. More fish = less oxygen available. It also would have a larger colony of bacteria, which leads to a larger die off and more issues.I did not know that. Thanks for that info.

Its a 20 gallon long with just those 2 fish in it. I did have a ammonia issue last week but i took care if with biosporaI have used them together as well.

Im not feeding metro laced food. I will do it. Does it makes sense that regal angel has it also?
Very much so. Can you upload photo of the regal? If it's not Uronema it could be bacterial. Either way it's best to attack the water and food in this scenario.Im not feeding metro laced food. I will do it. Does it makes sense that regal angel has it also?
See prior post with picture from the angekVery much so. Can you upload photo of the regal? If it's not Uronema it could be bacterial. Either way it's best to attack the water and food in this scenario.
Did u see the picture of the angel?Very much so. Can you upload photo of the regal? If it's not Uronema it could be bacterial. Either way it's best to attack the water and food in this scenario.
@4FordFamily @HotRocksSo it got worse on the anthias and the angel is not showing any signs if it. I am dosing metroplex. I want to put the angel in the DT what should l i do?
Its the same just darker red. Im definitely leaning towards uronema. If the angel is not showing anything is he good 2 go in the DT?@4FordFamily @HotRocks
Hopefully they will have an answer. Can you post a current pic of the Anthias?
No, complete treatment then. Uronema is likely. 14 days metro and feed metro and focus or the same timeframe. Even if the fish in the same tank aren’t showing symptoms.Its the same just darker red.

Dies it affect angels as well?No, complete treatment then. Uronema is likely. 14 days metro and feed metro and focus or the same timeframe. Even if the fish in the same tank aren’t showing symptoms.
I don’t see definitive black ich but uronema is no joke...
