I’m out of town so I’m relaying this through my fiancée. Last night she fed the Lubbock’s, Naoko and Orange Back fairy wrasses and everyone was seemed normal. They’ve been awesome. I was trying to get some chloroquine phosphate because the Lubbock’s was lethargic the first week. The last week he’s been fine. 2.5 weeks into observational QT and I was supposed to pick up the CP Friday when I got back in town. This morning they seemed fine but no up close visual inspection to specifically confirm that. Just now, she smelled something and thought our nephew soiled himself. She then noticed this.
Is it velvet? I saw no spots/specks before I left Monday morning. She would have mentioned spots if she saw them at night. She does freshwater so fish are familiar.
Temp seems normal, ammonia alert looks normal, filtration still running. I can’t get her to do much in the way of testing and I’m 26 hours from being home. Suggestions on what to check? I need to know if there is anything I should do before having her remove the fish and clear the tank. The smell is bothering her and my nephew. Obviously they’re dead and gone but I would really prefer to know what happened so I can prevent it in the future. Needless to say this really sucks. The cost is secondary to the fact that 3 creatures whose lives depended on me are gone.
