back story
I’m doing a tank reboot which involved catching all fish and temporarily holding them until the display is cycled again with the new scape and sand. My fish were healthy other than Ich being in the system. Since I had to catch all the fish anyway, I chose to rid them all of Ich in the process. The last set of fish in QT I’m having trouble with.
They have been through a full TTM with 1 Prazi 24hr treatments, 2 Formalin Baths, and 1 full set of Metro, Furan, and Kana. During the observation after the last transfer I could still see spots on the Hippo Tang.
I consulted with Humblefish directly and he suggested a FW bath, there were still spots. So we decided to conduct one more transfer, with one more 24hr Prazi which just so happened to be 6 days after the previous, and I went ahead and did one more formalin Bath before the transfer.
The Hippo was spot free until 3 more days had passed. Spots again.... maybe I contaminated one of the transfers? Maybe this isn’t Ich? I’m not sure what to do next..
thoughts?
