First Ich attack

[Alaa]

Hi just want a confirmation i will start copper treatment tomorrow
This is my first time to have ich, i had to add the anthias to the DT since they were really distressed in QT [emoji20]

Three letters: “Yep.”

I’m sure you know this now, but if the fish is stressed in the QT and it’s within a month or so of being there: do not add to the DT!

I konw but the QT was really small 5 G and i read somewhere that anthias can be difficult to QT and so i accepted the risk[emoji26]
But i learned my lesson

Gotcha. I'd invest in a larger QT. I picked up a 20g at Petco when it was having their $1 per gallon sale. $20 tank, $30 HOB filter, $25 powerhead, $50 steel stand, $3 on egg crate at home depot for a lid, $4 large PVC pipe. Worth every penny!

Believe me, @Alaa , we’ve all been there. This is my two-5s-and-a-20 QT set up, AFTER I learned, by having Marine Velvet three (3) times. Best wishes!
