Hi All,
I've done some searching, and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. So I'm looking for a definitive from you geniuses out here.
I had a Brook outbreak about 6 weeks ago. Killed my Royal Gramma, and 2 clowns almost immediately. I managed to save my Flame Angel however. Took him out of the tank, freshwater dipped, QT'ed, and just cycled freshwater dips for 3 weeks. He's in my QT, healthy as can be.
However, I still have a yellow watchman goby (last fish) still in my display - who's shown ZERO signs of disease. not a thing. As you may know, pulling a watchman goby out of a tank is no easy feat. I've spent hours upon hours trying to trap him, etc... I'm really trying not to breakdown my rock to get him.
Either way, since my Watchman is showing zero signs of Brook, do I still need to remove him to start my 8 week fallow? My theory is that this parasite has no host at this point. I will remove him if necessary, it's just gonna be a massive undertaking. Curious to hear everyone's thoughts.
