The Powder Browns seem to be the most prone to breakouts of Ick if Stressed in my experiance.

Yes, thank you Bill for that friendly caring thoughtful statement. I am fully aware that powder browns and blues rate up there with having a very minimal slime coat, that puts them more easily at risk to ich.

The fish was ordered from liveaquaria.com and was kept by someone in the clubs tank for quite a while with never any signs of a single spot. And yet, it is in my QT anyways, and I have all these other fish in there with it. If anyone of them breaks out with anything in the next 4 weeks, they will all be treated accordingly. And if there is no outbreak of ich, then they will go into my 'hopefully taken all possible safe routes' ich free DT. And if it happens to get ich anyways, then I can at least say that I did everything I could to deter it from happening.

Dang, Excuse me! I was just stating from experiance. I took Lindsays Powder Brown that he had for a long time and I never had Ich in my tank but the PB was covered in days and never recovered. I was not being unfriendly or any other way demeaning your methods just stating the facts as they occured to me. S.H Black Opps Out.
