Another quick update. Purple tang is still covered with spots but he still has a good appetite. All of my fish look pretty healthy. No casualties yet. Been trying to catch all my fish but no luck yet. I am not 100% positive this is velvet. I would of thought I would have some dead fish by know. Almost 2 weeks.
Is there a time frame when velvet is interduced to the DP tank to when your fish will start dying. Right know I am at 2 weeks without any loss of fish.
You're there. Unfortunately, the fact that you're not acting pretty well spells disaster for your poor fish

Sorry to say but there's no steadfast rule, some fish can tolerate velvet awhile and ultimately die. On rare occasions they can battle it off in a glass cage but the vast majority of your fish will die and if you ever want to add fish in the future, you'll have to take them out and treat properly either way, as they'll carry the disease perpetually.

It's either not velvet or you have a rare pbt. I would observe and watch the pbt closely. It'll be your disease gauge!
+1 My pbt is mine [emoji6]
What is pbt and what should I watch for??
Powder blue tang. Spots, dusting, scratching, flashing, heavy breathing, weight loss, etc.
Powder Blue Tang looks great.
