Still sick?

[jonleeroyix]

I’ve been treating my fish in copper for over 30 days now and one of my clowns still has white dots on him, should I leave them in the therapeutic levels still? I’d like to clean this tank up a little but I don’t wanna accidentally dip the copper levels too low.


Also I have a stupid blue damsel that will NOT come out of the DT, will I still need to wait 76 days for the fallow period after I finally get h

These dots are confined to head area only and suggest brooklynella Instead of ich.
What other symptoms did you notice before initial treatment ?

I treated all my fish because I had an angel die in the DT and found out he had ich. I noticed they all had white spots like ICH, one of my fish had a mucus film around him, he did not make it

The mucus may be brooklynella

Fish trap for the damsel - otherwise you really can't run it fallow.

What copper product are you using and at what dose?
The damsel remaining will ruin any fallow treatment I’m afraid…..

Using fritz coppersafe at a little above 2.5 ppm(API Test kits suck)
