Thanks! I guess I can take him out of copper than. Not sure I want to put him in the main display though...
Thanks. So should I take it out of copper or leave it for another week? I see no scratching, flashing or heavy breading. He is just very skittish and nervous.
Thanks. As he has been in copper for 2 weeks theoretically any free swimming parasites ( protomonts or Theronts) should have been killed, and given trophonts only feed on the fish for up to 7 days there should not be any chance of it having ich... also, this white spot on the fin has been there for two weeks so it should not be ich.
Having said this, and to be on the safe side I guess I will leave him there for another week and see what happens.
Quick question: I am injecting air to the tank to increase oxygen levels given that this small QT does not have a skimmer and meds reduce oxygen levels. There are tons of micro bubbles in the tank. Is that harmfull to fish?
out of curiosity, if there was a coral dip that could potentially kill off ich tomonts, what would you use? I recently acquired a monstrous frogspawn colony and its way to big to put into my coral quarantine. Currently its in my second tank that already has ich because I was paranoid about infecting my large display with 7 acanthurus haha. but it takes up over half of my smaller tank so i'd like to move it to my larger tank.
Bayer? coral Rx? Revive? iodine?
I gotta say, that I really don't think you can kill ick or velvet tomonts with a coral dip. Copper can't do it either. If I were to take a guess at the one with the best chance (however slim) I would pick bayer from your list. Though I think i've seen people do dips with freshwater or even peroxide I think... One of those might have a slightly better chance to doing it, but i wouldn't risk it. AND I'm not even sure people do those two dips at all or how to do it.
i guess I'm just going to have to run my smaller tank fallow for a couple months
That's something I can support! It's no fun of course, but still the best plan.
The things we do for fish right!!
