Hello fellow reefers, I have a brand new 200 gal tank waiting to get its first inhabitants and I decided to start quarantining 10 Chromis I got from my LFS.
I followed a quarantine procedure I found here including Copper Power and General Cure dosed to the water column as I couldn't get them eating treated food.
After a few days I noticed one of them developed a small bulge in the forehead but I didn't do anything since I thought Copper would take care of it.
Here is how it looked like
A few days later, the bulge was gone and the fish died soon after. After 2+ weeks I was left with 3
The looked healthy so I did a transfer to a brand new copper free tank.
Unfortunately 2 days ago I noticed one of the remaining 3 developed another bulge.
Can anyone help me identify the disease and the proper treatment? Any way to avoid infecting the others?
@Jay Hemdal or any other experienced reefer's help will be greatly appreciated.
