Hello,
I recently purchased 2 clownfish from my LFS that they received from ORA. I bought the fish while still in the packages directly from ORA. So the fish were never in the LFS water.
I brought the fish home and put them in a QT. They are not in my main display yet. My question is, has anyone had issues with parasites and fish purchased directly from ORA? I'm treating them now with Prazi Pro but not sure if I should subject the fish to a copper treatment since they are showing no signs of any issues. I would assume that ORA keeps their systems clean of parasites (yes I realize its impossible) but I would assume the odds of getting a healthy clownfish from ORA is higher than a fish which was in a LFS system for a few days.
Is my assumption correct? Has anyone had issues with ORA fish? Would you still treat them or leave them in QT for a few weeks with no treatment other than the Prazi Pro and put them in the main display?
thanks
Mike
