the two bar rabbit fish, two semi-picasso clowns, dragon faced pipefish, and potentially a flavivertex dotty back.

Its kind of weird that non of the corals or inverts are being affected by whatever is in there. seeming like its some sort or pathogen or something. no signs of ich, no cloudy/pop eyes.

I am brainstorming on whether i should pull the fish out and put them though hypo salinity or some broad medication or (more likely option) leave them in there and just keep them fed with vitamins and garlic.

We have another tiny two bar rabbit fish at the shop. I am debating buying him and putting him in with my seahorses. He would eat back my calurpa problem in there and since he can crazy to his hearts content probably would not contend for food with the ponies

Jon, again sorry to hear of your losses.

Have you tried using a UV sterilizer? I don't have one but have been considering getting one...

If you want to set up a Q tank, I can give you some chloroquine to try...

Thanks Brad. I'll do some reading on it. I was following your thread on Velvet. Does it linger in a tank like copper does?

That sucks Jon.. Hopefully you can figure out what's going on soon.

Finally a happy note. My bangii cardinal released his babies! Luckily i was watching as it happened. I quickly ran and scooped them up and got them into a breeder net with some cheato. I tried to get some photos but i could not get them with my dslr. Ill try some point and shoot ones tomorrow. Sooo cute!
