so i got this fish from the lfs because it look supect, fins tore up etc. i like to try and save fish, anyway ;it was hard to tell if it had velvet or was just transtioning and stressed. point being his issues were not as plain as the nose on my face kinda illness....they had it for about 1 week...
my process---
i gave it a FW dip, followed by a 90min ralley pro bath then plopped him into a 20 long qt along with CP at 60mg per gallon. I also dose vitmarine M an C to the water daily.
all food i feed are also soaked in vitmarine M an C, metroplex, selcon and kanaplex with seachems entice, oddly i have never seen him eat but he is still alive so i am assuming he is
its been 1 week and i notice his colors are (alot more blue) improving but started developing this on one side of his body. so i did a large water change (75%) and added API gc (beacusei have still not seen him eat) and API EM to the water.
day after tomorrow will be another water change day and the only thing i have not use that i have on hand is copper power and paragaurd and kanaplex powder(which is hard to disolve in water but i will try)
the qt tank containes a heater, a small wavemaker and a airstone filter along with some large pvc elbows and a temp gauge thats it, oh and a light. no carbon, no gfo, and no stray volatage---- a bare bones qt setup.
its odd that most of the random blemishes are traversing along the laterial line but i dont know. i say fungis but im an engineer, and i do not see fish disese on a daily basis. so i was hoping that someone more knowledgable about fish diseaes could educate me on what my next few steps should be. i thought that maybe the small qt has him stressed out and if i place hm in my 220 that it may help him out but EHHHHHHHH im not to sure about that.
