I keep losing fish

[jmoney7]

7 days times 6 weeks is 42 days.

I'm not following what your saying.

I misspoke when I said 6 weeks

 

[jmoney7]

60÷7=8.5 weeks

That is what I did again I misspoke when I said 6 weeks I reiterated that I followed proper fallow period according to jay hemdal which was 60 days I finished a few months ago so I forgot

I did add snails after fallow and corals I need to quarantine those too?

Possibly.
Do you buy at the LFS?
Do you know if inverts are seperate from fish? And I mean seperate systems not just seperate tanks.

 

[jmoney7]

60÷7=8.5 weeks okay, nevermind.
Which way did you fallow? 45 days @82° or 60 days

60 days

I used to add fish right to the tank but I haven’t added any new fish. I misspoke about the 6 weeks I used your and jays recommendation on fallow and treatment procedures.

Do a major water change and add a UV unit to the tank and leave fallow 8 weeks, while quarantining any new arrivals prior to introduction. Start with 30 days coppersafe followed by two 8 day treatments with PraziPro

I don’t know the answer to that

 

[Dburr1014]

I don’t know the answer to that

You can ask the LFS, or not.
If not, I suggest qt everything that is wet.

Once you have expensive fish, it would really suck to lose them because of a snail.

Yeah definitely I don’t wanna lose fish period

*Most* LFS have seperate systems for fish and inverts.
It's still not fool proof but it is safer to add to tank.
Fish diseases run rampant in this hobby. It's just getting worse by the year.

Yep

I recently bought three wrasse,
I lost one to uronema.
The other two just finished an aggressive fast paced QT. 4.5 weeks cuz I had last minute vacation plans.

I did prazipro first, in 2 full weeks copper, then 1 week observation in a clean tank with live rock.

Yes I treated them but now 2 of them got it again and 1 already died I now only have 3 one of them still have it my clowns are like immune. But I don’t understand why ich showed up again no fish were added.

You didn’t happen to leave the clowns in during fallow correct? As in/ you did treat the clowns correct? Also, 2 weeks in copper is not long enough. Unless it’s cupramine, then I’ve heard you can get away with 14 days, but imo it’s hit or miss I just did 30 days. Also levels need to stay at therapeutic dose the full 30 days testing with Hannah copper test kit. Also based on the timeline, you didn’t treat with prazi properly either.

I didn’t treat with Prazi as it’s not nesessary for ich idk where in this thread I said I only treated them with copper for 2 weeks I did beyond 30 days in copper using Hanna checker and I also did not leave my clowns in DT hence me saying it was fallow (no fish)

I’m very Sorry I meant to split those up. The clowns was for you. The rest was for dburr(the post above my reply) I apologize

Some wrasse can't handle 30 days in copper. It's a hybrid method that is okay with certain protocols.
It's followed with 2 weeks of observation. It's not foolproof, like with everything else, but with fish known to go downhill in 30 day copper treatment, it's better than nothing.
