Hi folks!
So my Sailfin Tang has some Ich spots. Not covered and you have to look pretty closely, but he does have it. He is active and eating well (frozen mysis, some clam, frozen spirulina). I have a hospital tank ready with CopperSafe in it, but its going to be a pain in the [censored] to catch him. I'd hate to stress him out.
Do you think I should wait and hope he fights off the Ich, saving him from the stress, or transfer him to the HT immediately, stressing him out in the process? My other option (not preferable) is to monitor him until he is lethargic by the infection, likely allowing me to catch him a little easier, and then transfer him, but when is it too late? and if he gets to that point, will the copper treatment be moot?
Thanks!
