First you gotta understand what that its not a disease, it would be a parasite, which my guess from your previous posts was that your fish had the parasite Velvet or Brook
|
Well I had a post up asking for any help because I could not figure out what this might be. Kina hard to understand something when you have no clue what to look for and no help.
My tank appears to have good params, so please dont suggest I have water quality problems, had this been so, I would have fixed it imidiately.

Without understanding or knowing what parasite, how can effectively treat it?
|
THATS THE PROBLEM and I had a post up asking for help about it, but got no replies, so obviously it is kind of hard to do something when you dont have any idea what your dealing with.

Noting you had the same problem a few months back, you never treated even though people offered.
|
Hmm......... must have had a memory leak because that is not true. I didnt not have this problem a few months back and no-one offered to help me with it cause I didnt have the problem............

Why would you stress and take out only two fish and leave the rest in your infected tank?
|
Because thats all I have space for at the moment, hence asking if I can borrow some tanks!

Cause when you put your other two back, your efforts were a waste & the fish are likely to become infected again.
|
Im not stupid.........I would keep them out until the problem was solved.

Your statement.... "If another one dies, I would like to isolate all the fish" What boggles me is you saying your going to wait for another fish to die before actually treat?
|
I agree dumb Idea on my part.

How many fish have you lost so far?
|
3..........the first two fish died a week apart, the tank was fine for two weeks and I assumed whatever it was, should no longer be of worry seeing as it had been 2 weeks since the tang died and the water params were still fine.

That is until you figure out you have to TREAT ALL the fish, thats if they dont all died before then
|
Im not stupid........... thats why im asking to borrow tanks!

Then before leaving the tank fallow for 6weeks fishless you will likely add more fish before that time and go threw this all over again.
|
Whoa nice, massive assumption.
I said I wanted to redo my tank. After I thought, yes maybe I should keep each fish alone for 6 weeks but if im completely redoing the tank then the parasite should be gone, no?

For now....I cross my fingers for your poor fish. Since I notice you keep buying fish even though your having problems.
|
Where do you get your info? Seriously? I think I got the coral beauty a week after the anthias died and about 5 days before the yellow tang died. I figured the anthias just died of some unknown cause. I have heard from most people on this site that they lost a fish and didnt know why but went on with their tanks, I assumed the anthias was just the same.

You need someone with more knowledge in the hobby to treat your fish, giving you time to get your tank under control.
|
What would you do besides isolate each fish individually for a long period of time(I was aiming at 2 months, or 8 weeks), and completely redo the tank ie: cook the rock, dump the sand, new water, etc...?
I think your reply was rather harsh, you made many assumptions and some of your suggestions about what i've done were quite innacurate. However, I do appreciate you suggesting it is a parasite and what might be happening.
