Hey so i have bought a few chromis, before knowing about uronema. They were all put in quarantine tanks with other fish and i did not pay any special attention to them.
The quarantine tanks were treated with copperpower for about 40 days, then prazi, and then metro in water and with food and focus. I was just following humbles suggestions.
After 14 days of metro, and stumbling across what uronema was, i notice one chromis (still i presume) has these red sores:
Looks like uronoma to me:
I did a 95% water change, cleaned all equipment pretty well, and re-dosed with metro. The bottle says i can treat for up three weeks "until symptoms disapear."
No other fish are exhibiting any signs or symptoms at all. Other chromis have no signs or symptoms, except one might have a tiny spot. Debatable there.
My thought was to treat with metro for one more week, any way, as a group and hopefully symptoms disappear.
Any other suggestions?
Maybe after the week, if any symptoms, remove the chromis to their own quarantine tanks, and give the rest of the fish a break from meds, then dose them (none chromis fish) one more session of metro before being added to the display?
Deal with chromis in their own quarantine best i can until cured (or flushed?)...
Thanks!
Edit: Is this possibly a bacterial infection?
