Hi guys,
Looking for an opinion from people with more experience than myself.
I have a purple tang and couple clowns in QT, they have done a full treatment of 12 days in NT Labs anti parasite (formaldehyde & copper). Then tank transfer to a clean tank.
After a week of observation the purple got a couple white spots, next day alot more spots so added cupramine, luckily only added half recommended dose as that made it over 0.5 with salifert test kit.
After 3 days in Cu the tang seems to have declined rapidly, no more spots but HLLE and stopped eating today, I have done a small water change to get the cu lever at 0.5 but would you recommend removing him from the copper?
The other fish seem fine.
And am I right to think it's Ich and not something else?
Thanks for any advise![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
