Me showin some luv to my fishes. :jumping: And the other main hobby..

Reefer did you find a tank? I'm looking to upgrade as well, any tips as to where to go? Sometimes ***** has decent deals/LFS's if they have someone bring one in... Thanks!

UPDATE DAY 1 SINCE ICH WAS FOUND. I got home from work and not ONE single spot on either fish!!! ???? I know how ichs life cycle is, and that they will fall off then reappear...but is it feasable to go from INSANE to NOTHING in a matter of 24hrs? And yes...I inspected the fish very very well....

Then get a HUGE rubbermaid container for them.... or something like a 55gal QT. They're not going to be comfortable while being treated, nor will they have tons of swimming room, but a healthy cooped up fish is better than a dead fish that had room to swim.

How large is the fish?

Definatly sounds like a common case of black ich. Black ich is not as large as white ich, and much much less distructive. It will look like someone dusted the fish in really really fine black powder. The best way to treat is with a quarintine tank, and formalin. After the first bath ich may...

Black velvet damsels are more of a "scaley" fish, if he ever gets big you will notice his scales are very similar to that of a bluegill, the hard scales (which most salwater fish are lacking) serve as a protective layer to not only parasites (ich) but also attacks by other fish. Think of it as...

Nope, fish can be acclimated (over a 48hr period) down to low salt levels 1.009. Although, Iverts, corals, and most micros in your tank cannot.. Hypo should only be used when treating a fish, or to treat in QT before introducing them to your display, otherwise low salinity over prolonged...

Originally Posted by rafaelosuarez I wonder how long before anyone answers. I would like to know what is the process to get the main tank free of copper. How did the copper get in your display to begin with? What is currently in the tank? I'd assume you want to now stray from a fish-only...

Originally Posted by Beth I don't think velvet. Once ich is in the tank and water, yes, you can get large proliferations rapidly. Time to hypo all your fish, in my opinion. If you are in doubt about ich, there are picture examples in the Diseased Fish Thread. Do you have a refractometer to...

Originally Posted by lion_crazz It could very well be marine velvet that you are experiencing with your fish. They usually appear a lost faster, affect the fish harder, and appear a lot more abundantly. I've never really researched marine velvet so I'm not entirelly sure of the...

Originally Posted by sepulatian Ich does not usually attack like that and I realy doubt that any hermit would be able to get a cleaner shrimp. The shrimp are quick and can travel up. That one shrimp would not have been able to keep ich that bad at bay. A team of hermits vs. one tiny cleaner...

Originally Posted by sepulatian Do you have lr, inverts, ls? You should realy treat the entire display. If you have these items, can you go to a store and get a large rubbermaid tub to store them in while you hypo the display? Yes yes and yes. I don't see a reason to treat my entire display...

Ok so I'm very firmiliar with tangs, and that they are deemed as "ich magnets".. I had a cleaner shrimp die today while at work...I have a feeling some new hermit crabs ganged up on him...anyways...I come home from work today to find that my Atlatic Blue has ich..Not like minimal how it usually...
