I just finished a variation of TTM according to the schedule listed below for a few fish and I am wanting to see if the little marks I see on the Blue Tang and Yellow Tang are anything or if I’m being over analytical....
Here is the TTM schedule with my notes:
TTM / QT Treatment w/ Every Other Day Transfers:
-Day 1 - Fish in tank. 5pm 6/10/19
-Day 2 - 1sttransfer at 24-36 hours in evening. 11:00pm 6/11/19. Poured fish into strainer. Next time use strainer to catch fish. Also find way to stream line process to reduce time and as a result, the stress on the fish
-Day 3 - Nothing, check ammonia (all fish eating) 6/12/19
-Day 4 - 2ndtransfer at 47 hours, Fresh Water dip 5 minutes, then 30-60 minute Methylene Blue Bath, transfer to new tanks. All PVC was sanitized in bleach for 30+ minutes, then dipped in Vinegar, then fresh water with Prime. 6/13/19 10pm
-Day 5 - Nothing, check ammonia 6/14/19
-Day 6 - 3rdtransfer at 24-46 hours, 6/15/19 at 5:00pm
-Day 7 - Nothing, check ammonia 6/16/19
-Day 8 - 4thtransfer at 24-46 hours,30-60 minute Methylene Blue Bath, still see what might be flukes. Do fresh water dips coming up,(Velvet should be gone) 6/17/19 at 4:35pm
-Day 9 - Nothing, check ammonia 6/18/19
-Day 10 - 5thtransfer at 45-46 hours, Fresh Water dip w/ Methylene Blue 9-10 minutes (too long), 15 minute Methylene Blue Bath, Do fresh water dips coming up,(Velvet should be gone)5/19/19 at 2pm
-Day 11 - Lost 1 Tail Spot Blenny. I think it’s from the extended freshwater & Methylene Blue dips. No Transfer, check for Ammonia 6/20/19
-Day 12 - Nothing, check ammonia 6/21/19
-Day 13 - 6thtransfer at 48-60 hours. 6/22/19 at 7am
-Day 14 - Nothing, check ammonia 6/23/19
-Day 15 - 7thtransfer a 48-70 hours, move to 20G Long QT 6/24/19 11:50pm
-Day 16 to 30 - Observe and keep normally in 20G Long QT until day 30
Look at the yellow Tang’s top section of the dorsal fin and blue tang’s caudal fin towards the tip in the center
Let me know!
