Start watching your other fish carefully. If it was velvet, which I think it was, you need to let your tank go fallow (fishless). I know ich is 72 days, I am not sure about velvet.

I had two.. This one and a copperband angel that died in one day with it.. All of the fish look ok other then all of my wrasses are hiding behind the filter. Filter is off. I only have a sponge bubbler in the corner goingSorry to hear [emoji53] are any of you other fish symptomatic?
I would think at least 72 days like ich. They do have the trophant stages either way. And im not familiar with the tabs. Anyone have any input on them? Would it be hard for you to order in cuprimine or a copper treatment online? I know that works and it might be an idea to have on hand just in caseStart watching your other fish carefully.

At-a-boy humblefish. Listen to this guy he gives you the details of it all. Humblefish, do you think it is brook? From what i saw i thought it was velvet. I could be wrong.All of these fish need copper or Chloroquine phosphate ASAP. A FW dip and chemical bath will only buy you so much time. Below is my write-up on Brooklynella. The formalin and acriflavine products are also useful for treating velvet (as a 60 minute bath); Metronidazole can be combined with copper for treating brook.
Brooklynella:
Symptoms – This is most often seen in clownfish, but it can afflict any fish. The fish’s skin will appear to be peeling or sloughing off, oftentimes causing excessive white mucous to form around the affected area(s).
Treatment options - Formalin or acriflavine bath, followed by additional baths (as needed - but give the fish a day to recuperate in-between baths). You can use formalin in a QT (at a much lower concentration than the bath), but great care must be taken to provide plenty of gas exchange as formalin will quickly deplete the water of oxygen. For this reason, doing baths is the safer option as the fish can be pulled from the formalin if showing signs of distress. Acriflavine is probably the better option for in-tank QT use.
The following products contain formalin: Formalin-MS (preferred), Quick Cure, Aquarium Solutions Ich-X, Kordon Rid-Ich Plus.
Acriflavine can be found in Acriflavine-MS (preferred) and Ruby Reef Rally.
Metronidazole (exs. Seachem MetroPlex, Metro-MS, Hikari Metro+) is considered an alternative treatment for brook. A freshwater dip may provide temporary relief if you are unable to locate any of the aforementioned medications right away. Some even claim total eradication of the disease is possible just by performing multiple FW dips on the fish.
