anthias QT

[coweyes298]

I am planning to try anthias again this time.

Previously I had bad experience with anthias...A year ago I didn't QT and put trio purple anthias into display, all perished within 2 weeks since they were not eating anything I fed. Later the year I tried again another trio lyretail anthias with TTM first. At the third transfer one anthias died, at the last transfer the second one died. Put the last anthias into QT with no medication and three days later it died. All three ate well while in TTM. From my observation that time all three anthias had red soars before they died, so I assumed it was uronema.

If I really want to try out anthias again, can the following process be adequate? Copper first to get rid of velvet, ich and uronema and following with Prazipro for fluke?

copper won't cure uronema... it can - sometimes- suppress it. Once you have uronema in your display it stays there unless you break down the entire tank and sterilize it. You can try again.... this time copper and prazi followed by a two week observation period without any meds unless needed. If they do well after all that, then introduce them to the display. If they get the red soars again and start dying then you know you have uronema lingering in the tank and should avoid species that are prone to it.

Thanks merlypr. I am not 100% sure my display has uronema or not but I would say 90% no uronema since the first trio anthias were died due to starving. The second trio died due to uronema but its in QT...

How about metro? Does it cure uronema?

Metroplex is supposed to be a treatment for uronema and in my experience it works about 30% of the time. I usually use it to treat incoming chromis along with copper, and that's where the percentage comes from.

Chloroquine phosphate supposedly handles cures uronema and I've had luck with Anthias with what I think was both Brook and ich in C.P. despite conventional wisdom to the contrary, at 15 ppm.

Actually my qt dose was 15 mg/l, o misspoke before
