Went to Petco today to get some emerald crabs, or see if they had small ones. Petco is the only local saltwater store. They are having a velvet outbreak currently. I feel bad for the fish and want to save them all. They have some nice specimens currently that I know won't live :'( I've told the manager about copper and CP. Petco won't allow it, they'd rather the fish die a horrible death I guess. The fish manager seems real knowledgeable and wants to treat them, he understands most are gonners without it.
My question is this. Does an 80 day qt erradicate velvet? Or did I mess up. I grabbed a bunch of different snails, feather duster, some different crabs, emerald, blue legs, squat lobster crab and they will go in my invert qt for 80 days. Wanted a small cleaner or peppermint shrimp but they had none. Just got done with 80 days of qt for a bunch of nerite and a blue knuckle.
