Well at this point if you can find a healthy blenny I would add him before the hypo, so that all the livestock is at least free of Ich. If you ever introduce another non-QTd fish though, you have to assume that the ich is back in the tank.Amazing advice, I will prep to do this I think. All for the success.
Yeah I think restarting would be a problem with my space constraints right now, maybe I regret not doing QT initially but as mentioned it was hard enough to convince the wife I needed one tank haha.
I'm assuming you'd recommend waiting to add the Blenny until after I finish the hypo process correct?
Thanks again!
I would also treat the fish in a hydrogen peroxide (H2o2) or Ruby Rally Pro bath a few times as a preventative against other common diseases like velvet. Again, the baths alone without a proper copper QT may not fully eliminate those parasites if they are present but would certainly help. Make sure to read up thoroughly on all those humblefish articles before starting.
After seeing the effectiveness of hypo, I am actually working out a suggested 'partial QT' procedure involving hypo and h2o2 dips - for people who just arent going to QT or have the means to properly QT. As long as the fish isnt harboring a serious disease like velvet, it should still be quite effective.
Good news on your existing fish is that clowns are very hearty, and the biggest threat is usually Ich.
