Is it a good idea to lower the salinity in qt tank? I have been doing a lot of reading this morning. Too early to get any medications yet!First off, welcome to R2R #WelcometoR2R
Sure looks like Ich, but I'm no expert, so let's get the right eyes looking... @Big G , @HotRocks , @4FordFamily , #reefsquad
In the meantime, I'd get a hospital tank set up to isolate all fish.

Yes I did just seen this sorry for not replying earlier.Did you do the above FW dip followed by a medicated bath?
Yes, they can and do get and also act as carriers due to their slime coats.Can eels get velvet? I have read about them being immune. Just wondering if they are infact immune would it be fine in another tank I have running? That tank currently has two volitans in it and nothing else which I have read are also immune. Thus eel came out of the tank I had with velvet in it!

Ok I am not giving up, but everyone looks like they might not make it with the exception on my ribbon eel you said the eel could be a carrier, so does that mean it hosts the parasite. Just wondering if everyone else does die do i continue the copper treatment?Thank you
