Hi! This is my first post onR2R! I have a tank raised ocellaris clown that I have had for about 8 years. Also have a boy that is 8 years old. Boy wanted some tank mates for Nemo so got 2 Tank raised Kauderns cardinals from DD. At same time got a flame hawk from LA. Quarantined for 8 weeks in a 10g cube with sponge filter and a hob filter. Had a 16 gallon DT all in one with Life Rock and Nemo.
After 8 weeks put cardinals and hawk into DT. In March bought African Flameback angel and neon dottyback from DIvers Direct. Had one week of Qt left when my DT had a catastrophic failure. There was a crack in the right side of the tank and water was leaking rapidly! This was on May 14 2018! How do I know the date exactly? ........... It was our anniversary!...... BTW- Important concept here- this tank was on the second floor. My wife came home and called me at work and said water was coming from the ceiling and down the wall of our living room. (The wall is stained wood and the floor is black walnut hardwood). So my wife was bailing h2o out of the tank and I asked her where the fish were. She said they were all in one inch of water and were dying! I told here to scoop them up and put them in the QT which was 4 feet away. So after that long story my questions are:
1- All of my fish are from DIvers Den but the Flame Hawk. I am finding white stringy poop on the floor of the Qt. Do I need to de-worm all with treated food?
2- was thinking of prazipro tx but all look healthy-no white dots or flashing. Last new fish was end of March. Am I in the clear for ich and Velvet?
Have a custom 30g tank coming sometime over next month! The fish are all co-existing well in the 10 g Qt. Btw- the Qt has a pirate ship and mountain which privide great hiding places for the fish(don’t forget I have an 8 year old). JRAD
