Yea, should have prefaced that with "not on purpose." He was the last fish to go when my 125 crashed from velvet, still alive in was at least 3.0mg/L ammonia (test could only get so green
). Couldn't find a couple other fish corpses, they were just rotting away for a couple days.... Set up a QT up, but by then I could catch him by hand, didn't really move fast, almostly gone. Died in QT. Outlasted two porkfish and a domino damsel, both of which are 10's on the hardiness scale.
I don't know why; but it seems velvet is never discussed anymore. I can remember when it was more of a problem than ich; at least at the lfs. I even treated every new fish with a product made by Tetra in QT, I think it was tetra-Oomed. they took it off the market.
