Im wondering how long a fish usually lasts untreated with Ick will last...?
Ok heres my story. So I bought 2 damsels for my 55g tank from my lfs. They were doing fine. My Domino all of a sudden has some white spots, and one morning he looked horrible they were all over him. Later that day when I get home, no spots on him what so ever. So 2 weeks later same thing happens again, this time I scoop him out and into the QT. Hours Later all the spots are gone. and hes been in it by himself for about a week now. No spots. I dont know what to make of it. The other 3 stripe damsel never contracted any signs of this and hes still in the DT doing fine.
Wouldnt the ick kill him in less than a week if he wasent treated? Hes doing fine now, All Params are good, Salinity in QT is 1.023. Im going to call the lfs tmro and see if they copper treat all new fish. If they do its probably not ick then right?
