I just started a new 46 gallon tank...
I'm about a week into the cycle process. After about 3 days I added 3 damsels. 1 Domino and 2 Fiji's...
DOmino Damsel is pretty much toast. He's laying on the bottom with faded rotted fins and a bulge on his cheek. He's also been trailing some long white feces type stuff every now and then. I think I've identified it as Brooklynella with maybe a bacterial infection to boot.
My question is, how would you handle this? I don't want to treat the tank as it's cycling. The other 2 fish look okay, although one of them has a reddish spot on his side where there was a previous injury...
I'm going to flush the domino once he dies. SHould I speed that process up? I feel pretty bad, I thought about doing a last minute dip, but is it even worth it?
If all my fish end up dying, do I still need to treat the tank, or can I leave it fishless for a few days to kill the parasite?
Any advice is well appreciated. Thanks in advance...
OH yeah, I put about 8 lbs of live rock in and have biggest eheim canister they make. Is this going to get in the substrate?
