My Tank Thread
None whatsoever. So here is what happened. I have 6 QTs running right now plus we have a 55 running at @4FordFamily's house we are using for NFG for any fish that need antibiotics after all other treatments are finished.Interesting. I wondered if you'd try that, since appetite supression hasn't seemed to be an issue with a fast ramp, even with species previously thought to be sensitive. Any "sensitive" species in that batch? Any signs of appetite supression?
Jason happened to stop by the worst LFS we have in town and they had fish riddened with velvet. He grabbed 4 of them and all tanks were already therapeutic. Added 2 tangs and a foxface to copper and a copperband to CP.
All 3 fish added to copper ate like crazy and we're seemingly unaffected.
So after all that my wheels are turning. Jason finds another grouping of fish he wants and orders them. We added them directly into therapeutic copper + metro. They are all doing great.
This also reduces the total time they have to spend in copper (immunosuppressant) yet again.
Again. I'm just sharing this with you since you inquired. I am not recommending this as the go to treatment method. I would like to repeat it with success several times before we make it the go to option.
