Well guys, I thought I'd write an update.. The fish are in observation tank right now. They've been in off medication since Sunday and its Thursday now, so almost 5 days. No scratching, no head shaking and spots yet. I'm still very nervous it will come back in a week or two so I'm taking very close observation. The regal does have a minor twitch and I cant tell if this is normal or if it's something else. However, when this whole thing started he was scratching all the time and he isn't scratching right now... so who knowz.
I learned a lot during this routine. I had a few deaths and I think it was the medication.
1.) I lost the melanurus wrasse and the mystery wrasse. I believe the mystery wrasse died due to CP while the melanurus died due to the mixture of CP and General Cure. (He was doing fine with CP but the day I added General Cure, he was toast.)
2.) Lost the purple tang. He stopped eating during the 2nd week of CP. When I took them off CP, he had just started eating again so I thought he was going to pull through it. And when trying to diagnosis the white marks, I gave him a fw dip. He was only in there for 4:30 and he's been in multiple fw dips in the past no issues. However, this time, after getting back in the tank he acted very abnormal and then wouldn't move, and died an hour later. Was very strange.
3.) Lost one of the four clowns due to not tolerating paraguard
Still have the potters angel, regal angel, and three picasso clowns. So overall, I know to be very careful with the meds. Sometimes that may be worse then the disease itself.
