Timfish Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 New water or water from a proven clean system. Adding water from your DT will have parasites in it. From your posts it sounds hopefull but it takes a week or more to have a good idea how well your fish are recovering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCAB Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Try a freshwater bath. If it falls off, then likely a parasite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Poor Dori. I hope nemo is ok. I hope you find what ever is in the tank and beat it. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Well it's funny, my 4th clown, wrasses, sailfin, file fish, and mandarin could care less about whatever's killing the other fish. Zero signs of anything wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 So how do you treat display tank. I guess just do water changes and let it ride for a while? I do not do QT tank either and have been lucky so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobR Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Man sorry about the hippo :-( that really stinks. Cupramine works really well for treatment, I would recommend picking up seachems copper test kit and testing the copper levels once a week if you can. It also helps if your doing a lot of water changes to keep it at the recommended level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juiceman Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 We'll all other qt'd fish are doing noticeably better, swimming around and eating more. Purple tang is still showing signs but eating well and visits the cleaner wrasse and shrimp on the regular Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juiceman Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Looks like everyone's going to be ok. All qt'd fish have no signs of parasites and are eating well, fish in the display are looking better by the day and have less and less on them. I'm going to do the full qt and no add the infected back in until the tangs in the display are parasite free Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
