This is my Emperor Angel in qt with a tomato clown and a bicolor blenny. Fish has been in qt for 8 days with coppersafe at 1.80 ppm. Till today morning it was fine and eating well.
2 hrs back it was scratching on its left gill and floating on the left side near the surface . Suspecting that it may have gill flukes, I have given it a freshwater dip(about half packet of general cure in tap water mixed with salt water, total tds - 1000). It has gone back into coppersafe which I’ve increased to 2.10 ppm now post the dip.
Is the fish having velvet, ick or flukes? I cannot see any distinct ick spots though. But I do fear velvet. Though I am surprised how velvet can appear after 8 days.
The fish seems to be doing better after the prazi dip.
