Having a bad day came home to a dead fish. It’s like I have a serious marine velvet outbreak in my tank. Going to try to drain the tank way down so that I can try to rescue some of my fish which are still alive into QT.Really kind of sucks I won’t have my fish in my tank for the holidays. Hopefully I am successful and saving some of my long-time fish I have had since I started. wish me luck![emoji17]

Aww man... that sucks! Hopefully it isn’t velvet and is just slime coat/ich or something less contagious.

Good luck with the QT.

Any recent additions? What’s your plan for the qt? Your looking at 6 weeks if going fallow.

yes I guess it is partially my fault I got some chromies and did not QT as long as I should have. I only observed for weeks. everything looked great and they were eating great. anyways I was able to get all but my wrasse out. must of burrowed under the rock. i had to fill the tank back up so corals would not all die. it was getting kind of long. I have one small damsel which is not accounted for so I am assuming it is dead somewhere in the rock. I have all fish Inwas able to get. did a fresh water dip and in 1/4 strength cupromine. I will test to see level and adjust to about .20.

Can always try a trap. I could not find one wrasse. An hour after I clean up he is out swimming laughing at me. Threw the trap in and had him in 30 minutes.

I have to get a smaller one I borrowed a large one from Arsalan but I can not fit it between rock and glass

Chelated copper like copper power tends to be easier on the fish, especially wrasses.

Thanks for the heads up. my wrasse did not look to happy so I did 50% WC in my QT and he looks better this morning. ordered up some copper power. what is weird that he is showing no signs that all the other fish who had velvet? I have read that they’re scales and slime coat is stronger and more resistant. what’s everyone’s experiences with velvet and their fish?

Thanks Everyone!
