I may get a lot of heat for this. Just set up a new 400 gallon aquarium. Purchased some fish. I did not have a quarantine set up... i'm sure you guys know where I'm going with this. Everything was going great for months then. I decided to add a large emperor angel, which, according to the LFS was already quarantined and treated with copper. It was placed in my aquarium. And within two weeks developed a terrible case of Ick. I started a quarantine tank and placed them in. But I believe it was too late, and it ended up passing. Long story short now daily another fish is developing Ick. I do like my inverts so I can't treat the main tank with copper. I do have several shrimp, starfish, lots of snails and crabs. I think I'm going to remove all the fish including the ones not showing any signs of ick and moving them all into the quarantine tank. And treating them as a group.
The tank is in the middle of my house and A long fallow period would be sad.
Any good invert, recommendations? Or anything else? I can put in my tank to continue to have interest while I wait for these d*** parasites to die out?
Any active large inverts?
This is probably a stupid question. But what about live coral shrimp from a Chinese grocery store? (Those are large and about 20 dollars a pound!) Never bought fish by weight before.
