I’m not sure who brought it in but for about the last week I’ve been battling ich. If it’s not one thing it’s another on this hobby in my experience.
I’ve been adding peroxide salts and picked up a used UV sterilizer but cracked the sleeve and missing a gasket so that will arrive tomorrow afternoon.
It’s incredibly frustrating knowing that I did this to myself and the only person to point a finger at at is me.
I’ll be surprised if the hippo, purple, and Kole make it another couple of days. Unfortunately catching them is out of the question without a trap. I’m going to be committing some time to try and do that but at this point I’m not if I should wait for them to be lethargic and catch them, as to not induce even more stress. The Yellow tang is the only tang not exhibiting any symptoms. The others are either flashing, swimming into the flow, hiding, and of course peppered with spots. The non-tangs aren’t exhibiting any symptoms at all. I’m sure this will change once the easy targets are picked off.
Going forward I will not be adding any livestock without a quarantine and treatment with the 80:20 method. I should have done this out of the gate, but I just didn’t; I couldn't tell you why. Just doing things properly would have prevented a lot of stress and heartache.
