After losing all but 2 fish due to what we believe was a velvet outbreak, (our fault for not quarantine before adding to main tank, we’ve definitely learned), we’ve finally moved the remaining 2 fish and have them in copper treated water. We have a melanurus wrasse and yellow watchman goby left. The yellow watchman was the last to catch and he’s been in the qt tank for a week. I ramped up the copper this evening.
Is this an acceptable level? Is there anything else I should do? These 2 fish have showed NO signs of velvet. It’s been about a month since our last fish died but it took me a while to be able to catch the remaining 2 fish and move them to quarantine. I leave these fish at the higher dose copper for 2 weeks before removing it right? We will be leaving the main tank fallow for 90 days just as an extra precaution. Right now it’s been fallow for a week. I just want to make sure I’m doing ok for these 2 fish.
Thanks for the help!
