Hi -
In March, I bought 1 female Anthias and a pair of clowns. All were given Formalin baths then went through TTM and prazipro doses. After treatment, I held them in a hospital tank.
In early-mid April, I bought two swallowtail angels and 1 emperor. They went through the same process then I added to the same hospital tank (60gallons) as above.
Then about two weeks ago, the angels and anthias were all scratching in the hospital tank. I removed them from the hospital tank and gave another round of formalin baths (in case it was velvet). Then went through more rounds of prazipro (in case it was flukes). All were doing fine and i saw some mild scratching. Then this past weekend, the fish turned for the worst and were dying.
So ive had these fish for about 6 weeks prior to showing any signs of velvet.. Could velvet actually not show up for this long? Or did the formalin baths and ttm just mask it for a few weeks?
