Fleming Angel

[Gettie]

Can anyone help on treatment of my whole tank I am afraid to use Copper due to Fleming Angel, just lost my sunset Butterfly but no visible ick but stopped eating and was hiding in rocks came out to eat a little and then will disappear, finally not coming out at all if so stopped eating. So I need to treat the whole tank starting with MetroPlex today, Any suggestions all the rest of my fish is eating great except Fleming Angel never got it to eat but eats algae on back of aquarium glass, been doing this for about 8 days and seems healthy, occasionally will pick on rocks and bottom of tank.

If the tank has no inverts, you can use hyposalinity as a treatment option.

Hyposalinity

Hyposalinity Jay Hemdal 2024 This term refers to a long-term bath treatment for marine fishes in which the salt content of the water is lowered and held below the point that certain parasites can survive. The salt level reached, and the time of the treatment are the two variables...

Hypo should be run at a salinity if 1.009 to be effective against ich.

How long do I keep this salinity at 1.009 before changing back my normal salinity.?

You will want to go 30 days past the last observed symptom, and longer wouldn’t hurt (if the fish is tolerating it fine).

Best way to fight disease is by quarantining all new additions - this way you never have to deal with it in the main tank (if done properly).
