No Brad. Sorry to hear if you have it. The only thing that kinda worked was praying and even then..... wasn't good.
good luck

Lots of info that it works well, but all the dosing articles are based off using the salt, and I only have access to the tablets. It seems to have a range of safe dosage, so if I don't find an answer in the next few hours, I'm gonna wing it...

If I have any fish left by the weekend, I'll be surprised. Lots of the issue is NH3 in the newly setup tank.
I'm pretty sure it's velvet, from what I know (which is next to squat) about fish disease.
However, chloroquine treats that, ich and brook, so that's the next step. I just need to figure out how much of the tabs to use...

So sorry to hear this Brad. Maybe leaving them in the display was a better idea? I hope the chlorowhatsit works for you

Would it be beneficial if you run a UV sterilizer? It would cut down on the total # of swimming pathogens.
