No offense but Jay Hemdal is not just some guy on a forum. I’d trust his experience, degrees, and books above all else. I felt like it might be velvet or ich but I didn’t say anything because I am just some person on the forums who reads a lot. You acknowledge yourself it could be velvet and velvet can kill everything in the tank very quickly, so recognizing that it could be that, you should be advocating for fast treatment.
Yeah well he misdiagnosed a tang of mine last year as "velvet" when it ended up being stress. He may know lots of things on treatment and I would not argue with him on that. But he's looking at a few pictures and making judgment based on that, while generally ignoring much of what the poster actually says.
But hey, I'd love to hear how velvet can stay in a tank for 6-8 months before infecting a fish, and then only infecting a single fish to that degree. Because that is new to me.
