Default re sick fish

IMO it is velvet
i had the same thing happen in one of my tanks
i lost everything
apparently there really isn't anything u can do for velvet that will cure it fast enough..from what i have read about it
they say copper..but i dunno. Whatever u do decide, do it quickly...my whole tank was dead in a week.
u can take u fish out and put into a tank with just SW and try treating it will copper sulfate..or maybe a freshwater dip
if you put the copper into your main tank it may kill ur LR
I would let ur tank sit for at least 6 weeks before putting any fish into it.
That way you can make sure that if it is velvet or ick, that the parasite will be dead.
