Kole Tang

[justingraham]

This was what was left in the Fresh water dip container And here he is after the dip in his ten gallon home

 

[justingraham]

I'll slowly add the copper to late at night to go get carbon

 

[domination2580]

How long did you dip?

 

[justingraham]

I went six this time. The last two times I dipped him was at five mins and after seeing he handled five I figured six would be fine. I only airated the water for 25 mins before and left the stone in there bubbling really slow like I have always done I added a lil tank water to the dip as well for ph purposes

Perfectly fine. I can see what looks like salt soec from the dip correct?

 

[domination2580]

If there are salt soecs its probably ich. Velvet you ussualy wont see anything but should relieve the fish.

 

[domination2580]

Either way copper will take care of either

[justingraham]

50 dollar fish 100 plus in medication and equipment if and when he pulls thru this it will be priceless

I somehow missed this What would salt soec look like? It kinda honestly just looked like little pieces of powder

Thanks again man I do appreciate it and so does the future wife

 

[domination2580]

No problem its what I'm here for. Ill check the thread when i get up. Amd yes powder is a good word. Im thinking it is ich with that info. So you're good to go

 

[justingraham]

And @Humblefish I was the one who asked u if u tried the diatom filter for ur study on Thursday night when this all started happening. I should have picked it up but went against my gut I'm regretting it now it's was only 95 dollars such an idiot.

Don't be to hard on yourself. Crap happens we learn from our mistakes.

Yea I guess just take it as a learning experience just a shame to see him like that alright just got done slowly adding the copper time for bed gotta be up in a couple of hours

Yes in deed... I would start copper right away. Taking the other fish out and treating them as well is prudent so the kole doesn't get reinfected when you put him back in the DT. Probably came in on a coral or invert - which sucks, but it does happen. CopperPower is absolutely fine. It's a chelated copper and should be a bit easier on the fish. You'll need the API copper test kit if you dont already have it. 30 days of copper and 76 days fallow. I'm sorry

edit to ask: where those spots there the whole time or only recently?

 

[domination2580]

All fish need to be treated in case i didnt express that already. Melypr thanks for reminding me. I think i expressed that but not sure
