Yeah I was thinking that too.

Velvet does affect gills they will swell and bleed. You may notice gold spots on fish

Caused by a single cell organism (dinoflaggetes

I would call BW and let them know

I've seen dino's in the tanks there a few times so its totally possible.


Either way since its a parasite of any type if your fish all die off you'd need to go fallow for at least 6-8 weeks to let the parasite die off in your tank, then qt new fish before stocking again.

Sorry for your lose(s) its tuff to lose the little buggers.

True.. But honestly why in the world would you even buy a fish from a tank that has sick fish.. Let alone take it home and put it in your tank..

I should have walked away when I noticed the sick fish but I haven't noticed anyone with feather dusters in while.
