Flame Angel

TaylorJerome · Jul 23, 2024

Hello,

I have a new flame angel arriving today and from what I read they are terrible with treatments. Is there anything I can order to have on hand in case I need to treat during observation in my hospital tank? And reccomendations on new flame angel quarantine? I have copper, seachem focus and general cure at the moment but am open to whatever I need to do to make this guy a success.

Thank you!

I bet #fishmedics can advise.

The quarantine protocol used most widely on here is detailed in this link:

Current Quarantine Protocol

2023 Quarantine Procedures Jay Hemdal David Scarborough Protozoans (Cryptocaryon/ich, Amyloodinium/velvet) and Metazoan trematodes/flukes are by far the most common parasites found on newly acquired fish. A carefully managed quarantine process can effectively eliminate these parasites before...

Best treatment plan is 30 days of copper and 2 treatments of prazi.
I’ve put coral beauties and a flameback through this with no problems.

Ideally, use coppersafe or copper power instead of cupramine.

And there are those of us that do observation only and medicate only when/if illness is observed. It's a personal decision.
