Hi all,
here’s a summary of my current situation. Last Dec, velvet wiped out my entire tank. So I did a 80 days fallow. In which during this period, I didnt add any new inverts/corals into the DT.
Concurrently, i QT the new fishes. Added them into the DT around mid April. The fishes are: 3 green/blue chromis, 1 yellow wrasse, 1 purple firefish and 1 lawnmower blenny.
In May, someone gave me a common clownfish. So i QT it for 4 weeks. No medicine was added into the QT. Just purely observation and all looked good. I then added the clown into the DT around mid June.
All was fine for around 2 weeks before white spots started appearing on the clown. The other fishes were fine. No spots. I removed the clown with much difficulty after 2-3 days effort. Put it back into QT with cupramine. Unfortunately, it died a week later.
So for now, can I assume that my original batch of fishes are infected with ich? The clown was removed in mid July and till date, the fishes are all fine with no spots.
