My display tank is 6-months old, 90Gal with four fish. All fish have gone through QT before DT. I know everyone has their own way, this is what has worked for me in the past and it is what I am comfortable doing.
Process:
72 hours in QT, catch and observe:
No sign of illness: two weeks in QT.
Signs of illness: treat accordingly
I've seen ich and brook in the past at observation and treated. This was a long time ago before either this QT or DT so irrelevant other than to say I have seen those diseases before.
I have two tangs in QT, put in there two weeks ago, and looked fine the whole time, never showed signs of illness.
I went to catch them to add to the DT and one has what looked like Ich and the other has what looks like Brook.
Both eat just fine, swim just fine, show no signs of stress outside of when I caught them.
I started copper treatment and less than 24 hours later they both look just fine.
Is it possible that both diseases can be that dormant? My plan is to continue 14 days of copper treatment, should that be enough? I've never heard of these diseases coming and going so quickly. Is it possible that the stress fish just looked like it had the disease and I mistakenly ID the disease?
