Might have to eat my own words re: quarantine

Sorry to hear this happens. I hope everyone will recover well.

Thanks again, sure appreciate the help!

Hey anytime, sorry for railroading you into it before the swap. When you arrived with all those water barrels I got a little gung ho

ah ok, they had something by the same brand at BW called coral marin or coral pro marin or something. Guess they were out of the other stuff. I'll have to have a look for it here. Thanks for posting that Shelley

guessing at least malachite green, since the water is green

I know it's too soon, but do they seem stable? It still blows me out you lost those two so fast! Especially since they were both eating.. I've always figured if they are eating they will be ok

So far they seem fine, chomping away at nori, eating pellets. The hippo is still a bit ****ed at getting dragged out with tongs, and still has some spots on her, but the rest seem fine.
I can't fit the trap I have in the tank so now need to come up with a new plan for the 2 remaining fish....anyone got a really small fish trap??

FYI the only thing that treats velvet is a copper treatment or formalin. Not sure what uni marin is, but if it doesn't have copper or formalin in it, it's doubtful it will work.

Like I said I have an ugly homemade one, but I think the gaps between the plexy (made it out of scraps) are too big for the two fish you need to catch. I will text you a picture and let you decide

That quinine stuff works as well. The problem with copper is that it harms fish kidneys, so not really something I want to use. My LFS guy tells me this stuff works, so I'm giving it a shot.


ETA: Sorry, the stuff is Chloroquine diphosphate that I'm referring to
