I have a fish only (one fish) with hermits, snails and shrimp. It is a 120 gallon with very large, heavy (most are over 30 pounds) rock. The fish went through TTM, two formalin dips, antibacterial treatments and Prazipro and five weeks of quarantine in a cycled, bare bottom with PVC tank. When he went into his very own display tank he was okay for two weeks. Then some spots showed up. Due to the difficulty of catching or breaking down the tank to retrieve him I decided to ride it out for a little while. He cleared up in a day. He remained clear for 18 days but now I see spots and he is somewhat "excited."
I'm looking for an in-tank treatment if possible. My formalin says 2 drops per gallon every other day until symptoms disappear. It says nothing about shrimp, crabs or snails. My Ich Sheild says don't use with corals or anemones but doesn't mention the other invertebrates.
Does anybody REALLY know what instructions I should follow with either of these chemicals? Yes, I know what I should do but I almost can't bring myself to tear down this tank.
Oh, and I don't know if this is ich or something else. Being as how it came once and then disappeared for three weeks I'm kind of discounting Velvet.
Snorvitch?
