Well after a lot of thought I have decided to go through with a 10 week journey to heal all my fish. I was going to wait till my upgrade from 125 to 300 but the fish are looking worse. I added a PBT directly to my tank about a month ago introducing ick to my Rusty Angel, Saddle Clown, and Pink Tail Trigger. They have all fought off the ick except the PBT who is showing signs. Now my Clown and Trigger seem to have either a fungal or bacterial problem, which looks like a white film on them. I have two Green Spotted puffers that were converted from FW to SW and a Flame Hawk that have shown no signs of anything. All the fish are still active and eating and look very healthy other than the ick and fungal/bacterial problem.
My plan is to eradicate the ick in the tank by letting it sit for 10 weeks. And treat the fish with Cupramine in a QT.
Here are the questions!
1. SHOULD I treat all the fish with copper or just the ones who showed signs of the ick?
2. Will copper kill my Green Spotted Puffers? I know copper and puffers really shouldn't mix.
3. I have coral and inverts in my DT, can they carry the ick? If they can would the 10 weeks get rid of it?
4. Which fish in what tank with what meds?
-Powder Blue Tank- Ick
-Pink Tail Trigger- Fungal/ Bacterial(Had Ick)
-Rusty Angel- Fungal/ Bacterial(Had Ick)
-Saddle Clown- Fungal/ Bacterial(Had Ick)
-Flame Hawk- No signs of anything
-Green Spotted Puffer- No signs of anything
I have a 55QT and two 10QTs
Thanks to anyone who helps me along the way, I will be posting pictures for the (crappy) journey to health.
Hopefully after the 10 weeks they will be going into the upgraded tank instead of the 125.
