Eels and ich

[Mr_Banana_Pants]

I had an ich, and possible even velvet outbreak in the DT... I broke it down and separated it to a frag tank and a hospital tank for all my fish. I have 2 eels that had to be placed in the frag tank since I was treating all my fish with copper.

So what I'm curious about is what is the best way to treat my snowflake eels so I can have my frag tank be completely fish free and be rid of the ich? How are eels with hyposalinity?

CP is the treatment of choice for eels and other scaleless fish: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/chloroquine-phosphate.192309/

Hyposalinity and Tank Transfer Method are safe alternative treatments for ich, but neither treat velvet.

Not sure if it was velvet or just ich, any way to tell on the eels?

Are they showing symptoms with white spots or dustiness? If you can post some good, clear pictures for us we might be able to tell you.

I'll try tomorrow, they are a pain hiding in the rocks lol... I haven't seen any symptoms on them but don't they shed their slime coat?
