At every LFS I’ve visited, I’ve seen what looks like at least one infected chromis.. I always check. And often those fish are all on one system sharing water. I have 5 new fish in QT and one of those is a yellow wrasse, which I’m pretty paranoid is a carrier or infected (probably just my imagination but I swear I see a tiny faint patch of white on his side and I’ve seen many of these fish with uronema). I’m treating daily with food soaked in metro and dosing with GC per packet directions. He is sharing a tank with a foxface, tiny blue hippo tang, longnose hawkfish, and a royal gramma. So my question is, can uronema infect any fish? Have their been reported cases in pretty much all species? While all of my fish in QT are eating well, and do not seem stressed, they are pretty cramped and my QT is definitely overstocked. Then again, I’ve heard of people having an infected chromis, with other fish and chromis in the tank, and only losing one or two. Also, what exactly is the protocol with treating with metro? I read Humblefish’s article about it mentioning to treat with metro in the food and in the water column daily, but does that mean daily metro dosing the water column or per packet directions?Thanks!</blockquote>
