I've always used ttm for ich, but recently heard from a friend, it can also work for velvet. A look into it I saw there may be some validity to his claims. Anyone use this method? And if so how did it turn out? Thanks in advance

I don't think TTM is consistently effective against velvet - the thought is that some theronts can survive in the fish's gill mucus and never have to leave the fish. Also, as stated, velvet/Amyloodinium kills so fast, many treatments (including copper) don't have time to work. That's why I strongly advocate for all fish to be preventively treated with Coppersafe for 30 days.I've always used ttm for ich, but recently heard from a friend, it can also work for velvet.

TTM has some other major drawbacks - the excess handling it imposes, it doesn't work on flukes, plus the need for a clean system to move the fish once done.
