Somethings wiping out my fish, and it ain’t ich.

I already told you how to do it silly pants....

Keep fighting man. If Nemo still has some strength, give him a freshwater dip, and get him in to QT fast. Is he eating?
I know it's counter inuitative, but I'd use water from the main tank, and a rock into the QT. Then, start medcating. It's ugly and not ideal, but it'll get both bacteria in and the fish out of the DT for medication. Then start doing daily water changes, with MICROBACTER7 after each water change.

Do this quickly, and you may have a chance. As long as he has some strength at least. "

Unfortunately Nemo died this morning. The fact that it took two days between symptoms and death points to velvet. The firefish was infected a few weeks ago with velvet but managed to survive. I’m somewhat confident though not optimistic he’ll survive.

No I’m planning that. Thanks, though...

Thanks! As of this morning, the firefish is perfectly healthy, so that’s a nice sign. I’m glad I can hopefully save a fish.
I guess I’ll just start from square one after the fallow period. I suppose this is a learning experience for me to always QT new fish.
