I quarantined a few tangs in copper for 14 days plus transferred them out. They are currently in observation. The blue tang broke out with viral/bacterial spots that look like velvet. I have a black mollie and it looks clean, but Iafraid that somehow the tank got contaminated.
I don’t know. It’s possible I dipped my hand in the tank when it wasn’t 100% clean. I didn’t shower beforehand. I’m very cautious - more cautious than most people, but I’m still not confident.
I want to treat them in copper for 30 days and officially transfer them inside the DT. I think the most common way for ich to make it through is from the Observation tank.
Anyway, what can I do now? Do I trust my tangs are ich free? I have 3 tangs - flame angel - hawkfish in the same tank. Only the blue tang has spots for 10 days. I read bacterial tufts are extremely common among blue tangs in particular!
My tank will complete its fallow by the end of this month. But I don’t feel confident that my fish are truly ich free.
Also note: I’ve never had parasite free fish before. I’m used to seeing spots on my fish and I feel weird because none of my fish have spots (except for the blue tang). I feel like this is some cruel joke and the second these fish hit my DT ich will then start showing on the fish.
