I know eels can’t really get diseases like ich and velvet, because their slime coat is too thick. I understand they can still have internal parasites? I’m getting 3 juvenile ribbon eels in about a month and I’m gonna qt them, but not with copper. All my other fish are just in qt tanks without medicine currently, and I’m debating if I should medicate at all. If I wait about 4 weeks after last fish was added to the qt system and I don’t see any disease is that good enough? The display these fish are going into is gonna have uv, but ide rather have no diseases anyway. Should I medicate just the fish with copper? I got cupramine, copper test kit, prazipro, maracyn and a few other medications. So far all I have done is tried to get everyone eating good selcon enriched frozen and pellets and dosed a bit of dr tims first defense. Fish that I got so far are- 2 clowns, 2 pink bar gobies, melanurus wrasse, orange back wrasse, watanabei angelfish, 2 bengai cardinals, 3 chalk bass, and one warty anglerfish. Everybody is eating accept for the anglerfish, but I’m hoping he eats a guppy tomorrow. Only lost 1 fish from shipping so far!
