So, my Velvet outbreak took out 48 of my precious fish:( Some of them have been with me for 12 years, I am really sad about this. At some point during this event I asked myself is this worth it...should I throw in the towel now....? The answer: well after 30 years of reefing I am not giving this up.
Ok, my question to you guys is 7 fish remain now in a HT including a large Vlamingii which I have had for years:inlove: He's got a very nice personality and love to be cuddled, now when I feed the fish he comes up to the surface as he always does to get some affection(that's my interpretation anyway). He lies down on his side at the surface and expects to be "scratched". The last couple of days he opens his gills waaay up as he wants us to scratch him there like he still has an itch or something. All fish has been in the HT now for 3 weeks and 2 days in Cupramine and they look good now, a lot better than before. What do you guys think, my plan is to take the Cupramine out of the HT now. A 50% WC and the rest with Polyfilter or carbon. Then I plan to put some Prazipro in there to treat any bacterial infections due to the copper treatment. I thought that might help with the possible irritant in the gills. Am I on the right track here?
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
