Good one! LolHe might need one to protect the floor when he moves the new tank in

@Frtdrmrose7 I do have a question (if you're still talking to me now) .I noticed the blue tang flashing a little against the bottom of the tank, is that something that I should be concerned about or do you think it might be irritation from the infection healing?

@Frtdrmrose7 I do have a question (if you're still talking to me now
How many doses of a Prazi have they been through? How long have they been in copper now? I don’t want to say just observe it and it gets out of hand.

We should show a little more respect for Chicago, Jay Cutler was one of the Packers' best qb'sHe might need one to protect the floor when he moves the new tank in

OP
They've had two doses of prazi but I cut the blue tang's second dose short at about 3 hours because of the low o2 scare we had. I was waiting to start copper until the infection got better so none yet.
Well then I would probably do a FW dip on him to check for flukes if none are present I would probably start raising copper. Unless they have visual markings that could be severely irritated I would err on the side of caution. What meds are currently in the water?

OP
They were 7 days apart. Currently there's furan 2 and api triple sulfa in the tank. Per ngoodermuth we're extending the abx beyond the 4 doses the instructions recommended because the infection was still present.
Ok, then to reduce a complex mix of meds do a FW dip just to make sure there are no flukes. There are Prazi resistant flukes going around. Did the flashing just start today?
OP
OP
It did just start today, I saw it for the first time just before I posted it
Ok then yes I would check for flukes. The other plus is even if you don’t see flukes and he stops flashing after the dip then you’ll know it’s most likely a parasite and not just irritation.

I have a container of freshwater warming up right now
I would also like to commend you on the ability to get 22 pages with 431 comments on a sick fish post. I suspect they will severely drop off now that you have openly supported the Packers though.

Hahaha, thank you!

I did think of something, if you're willing to drive a little ways, would you like to be part of the setup when I get the new tank?

What size did you say you wanted for future quarantine tanks?
OP
OP
I was thinking 15 gallons
I would say a 20G long it will give you a lot of QT options
