Poor guy

One of the worst case of velvet I've ever seen. velvet as been in this system at petco going on 2 years and they refuse to do anything about it.

Every LFS around me has velvet in their systems. Some just do a better job of hiding it by adding low levels of copper to their systems. Petco just hopes to sell them before they die. The only aid they provide a sick fish is an occasional FW dip.
They do have a few Bangai cardinals that have a very nice immunity to velvet but they can't keep anything else alive in their system for more than a week or two.
