I’ve currently quarantining a large foxface lo that is very stressed and I’m doing everything I can to keep medications to a minimum. I had a one spot foxface previously that died after 3 weeks in copper, so needless to say I really don’t want to go through that again.
I’ve had him for exactly one week and so far he looks very healthy, no spots or issues yet. But as mentioned is very stressed, rarely bright yellow and mostly hides, but is fat and eating. I do treat all of my fish with prazi prophylactically before going in the DT.
I’ve read that foxfaces are naturally resistant to ich and velvet but I’m not sure how true this is - is it necessary to treat with copper or is it safe to assume if I don’t see it after 30 days it’s not an issue?
