Hi all,
We have a Premnas gold stripe in our tank.
Started Sunday Sep 25 not eating, swimming erratically and mostly towards the current of the recirculation flow. We suspected velvet because seemed she couldn’t breathe thus the swimming towards the current.
On Wed 28, she was eating very ocassionally, and discovered many small white powdery dots in her skin, watching at her through certain angles. Here are some illustrative pics of what i’m referring to, this kind of confirmed to us the velvet.
Also on Wed 28 we did the change of 10 percent water because we get hold of a QT and we needed to set it up.
On Thu 29 we administer PolyLab Medic into the reef. We noticed she regain appetite and wanted to eat more.
On Fri 30 we moved her into the QT, because she was in a very bad shape. the cooper finally arrived so to administer cooper into the QT.
This is a pic of her on Friday morning.
We started administering Cooper, apparently lift her up, she became better, her skin looked beter in general than in the previous picture, but the white spot concentrated in one place, now….
In general terms her attitude is better this morning (sunday) she was really looking for food and very responsive… so it kinds of throws away the velvet diagnosis, cause i don’t think (if it was velvet) she actually could get better so soon. Or can she?
Anyways, would appreciate help on diagnosing this…
The parameters of the tank are as follow both measurements taken while the Premnas was inside…
Thanks!!!!
Martin
