Hello all,
I know this may seem silly or trivial, however I alway have liked green chromis. Now it’s difficult to add one to my tank given the fact that the LFS I trust doesn’t ever have them and buying them quarantined even comes with a disclaimer that they may have uronema. I really don’t want to add that to my tank.
I’ve had one in quarantine for nearly 2 months. I did suggested metroplex treatment and have just been watching him since. Eats well, swims enthusiastically, etc.
I also want to add in the fact that I bought 3, from petco. 2 died mysteriously one on day 3 and 5, however no red band or sores or signs of uronema that I was able to tell or see visually (I did not do a scale/skin scrape or anything as I don’t have a microscope or the knowledge to understand what I’m looking at anyways)
Is it safe to assume that after (x) period of days they’re free of uronema? Is there a time limit for uronema remaining dormant in a fish? Or is it not worth adding to my tank due to high risk of this fish having it?
Thanks so much in advance
