Sorry but that sounds like velvet.Hiding from light and lethargic, hard breathing
This has went from a couple dots to almost a dead fish in two days.
All my other fish are fine
Thanks for the help and advice Big G I appreciate it, and everyone else! Thank you allKeep in mind the spots are there "after" the parasites have finished feeding on your fish and have dropped off to begin the cycle again. So the others may have been attacked already but are not showing the mucous marks yet. "Dory" is kind of a canary in the coal mine. They usually present quickly.
Do I use water from my tank predosed for qt, or no more display tank water.20 will have to do. Usually use a 40 breeder for tangs, but time is not your friend right now. Water changes frequently will help. Just make sure that the dirty saltwater coming out with copper is replaced with pre-dosed copper at the same therapeutic range. Never let the copper fall below therapeutic range otherwise the clock starts over. You might be right about the Flame Angel. Sometimes velvet doesn't present externally. It attacks within the gills unseen and quickly.
Thank you for your grand advice!I usually use freshly made saltwater for my QT's. Especially if the display has parasites.
Those color matching test kits are horribly unreliable. Way too easy to under and over dose. The Hanna will lower the stress on your fish and on you. They are a great investment.
Hey pal! QT is going great! , for the most part!Best of luck. You will love how the Hanna helps you to treat your fish better and lower your angst.
