Treat for the full 30 days as recommended as there are different stages in the cycle and provide Good diet
I’m feeding pellets, flakes, and frozen foods. Also Nori but that was when he was in the display tank.Treat for the full 30 days as recommended as there are different stages in the cycle and provide Good diet
What foods are you currently feeding ?
Gotcha, one last thing. He is 3”, is the 10 gallon enough for him? He’s alone in that tankIt may be just the camera angle, but it looks to have lost some weight. What were you treating with?
Ich trophonts will "go away" when you move a fish to a new tank, but then they develop into a tomont that then releases theronts and the disease cycle starts up again . In essence what you've done is the first cycle of the tank transfer method.
You need to let the tank it came out of stay fishless for 45+ days (usually 60+). Otherwise, the tang will likely just get reinfected.

Add LRS herbivore diet at minimumI’m feeding pellets, flakes, and frozen foods. Also Nori but that was when he was in the display tank.
Pellets: Hikari seaweed extreme, New life spectrum Marine fish, BRS pellet diet
Flakes: Omega one marine pellets
Frozen: San francisco; Mysis shrimp, Saltwater multipack, Ocean Nutrition Formula 2, Piscine PE Mysis
20 would be better, but for the quarantine period that should suffice. Problems in small tanks usually take a long time to build up.Gotcha, one last thing. He is 3”, is the 10 gallon enough for him? He’s alone in that tank

Okay bad news... He just died this morning.. He was eating a lot in the past few days and never lost an apetite. Params are all okay unless the ammonia reading failed..That size tank isn't ideal, but if you keep the ammonia at zero, it is doable for the relatively short term of a treatment.

Yes and all of them are quarantined too. The Sixline and my old basslet died.. They weren’t eating not even the frozen ones. The rest are doing okay, the Blue hippo seems to have HLLE forming I think.. Idk if it’s HLLE or ich it’s hard to see because he keeps swimming and hiding. Hopefully he recovers..Sorry to hear. Something else was going on with this fish - the number of ich spots in the first photo wouldn't have been fatal by now, especially when the trophonts had all dropped off two days ago. The fish sure got think fast, I'm not sure what caused that, but it isn't normal.
Were any other fish exposed during all this?
