I too am concerned that what I thought was ICH was actually MV. 3 of the 4 fish dies within 72 hours of being moved out of the DT. I assumed it was due to the extra stress caused with catching them, but I could be wrong.

As a precaution, I am letting the DT go fallow for 8-10 weeks. Week 4 is complete on Saturday, so Im almost halfway.

The lone survivor, a Occelaris Clown is doing well. Treated with cupramine for 3 weeks. It was touch and go for the first week or so of treatment. Not swimming much, and not eating. Now copper free, and looking healthy and very hungry. Feeding a mix of flake soaked in selcon and garlic and frozen mysis. Good color, and back to acting like a clown.

I plan to perform a couple tank transfers over the next 4 weeks with the clown to ensure no MV/ICH gets transferring back to the DT when its ready.
