Might have to eat my own words re: quarantine

I could trade you for some other rock as I guess the treatment tank is going to nuke the rock from ever being used in a tank again due to the copper - correct?

Not using copper, but I'm not sure that what I'm using won't nuke the rock also. I don't have any spare to trade, but thanks. I can probably get a whack of rubble at Safari, he's got tons in the sumps.

Just read your thread..

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. Hope everything works out okay for you!

It's a brutal thing to go through. It hit me just over a year ago, lost 3 fish out of the 8 in my tank. Makes me scared to add any new fish now since I don't have a quarantine tank. Hope you and your fish pull through.

Hope your remaining livestock pull through my friend.

Just did a big water change at lunch, and all the fish seem fine. Even the 2 still in the display are fine. Not sure what's going on.

Hopefully your quick actions with getting them out and onto meds have stopped whatever was potentially going to happen? Who knows

Good to hear.

I sadly lost one more fish, and have started my medication attempt on the remaining ones. The biggest problem is that none of them really have similar symptoms, all the other animals in the tank are fine though.

Lost my snowflake blenny who didn't have any visible symptoms and lost my lemonpeel angel which had an abrasion on one side of its body. Foxface has dots but is otherwise acting normal and one domino damsel has lost most of its colour but is behaving mostly normal. The rest seem to be fine but it doesn't look like anything that would have been prevented by quarantine or other means.

Ya, but now I'm not sure what to treat for, how long to leave the tank empty, etc. The fish really really want to go home!!

I'm in the same position. Even if I had quarantined, I would have put the fish in the main tank after a month. He didn't get sick until 5 or 6 weeks, so this still would have happened.

Exactly! And I'm sure the fish was at PR for a week or more being watched.. O add that to the time frame..

I don't know, this really freaks me out, I've never quarentined and have lost a fish here and ther and just chalked it up to the way it is.

I find it so odd that the two fish left in the tank are ok..
