Hello all I have more of a scientific question of interest, so based upon what I’ve seen from the velvet life cycle it needs a sand or substrate to infect a fish yeah? but it also is found in fish via well it being carried by them so here’s my question, say two fish are in a bare qt system can one fish who’s infected with velvet infect another fish even though the velvet can’t really go through the normal life cycle used for infection?
How does velvet infect in a qt system?
