Conspic angel Q's

[Sheol]

Meyers2: LOL, yes Therapy can run up the bills as much as our expensive hobby can. Or maybe I just need therapy because I keep choosing expensive hobbies ( ie, Reefkeeping, Astronomy, Reptiles.)!

But the Conspic is still the "Holy Grail" Angel for most of us..

Oh man I cannot wait for Copps response. I will say that I adamantly disagree with you on the simple fact that medicating all fish whether they are sick or healthy is simply ridiculous. Using 4 different treatments on a healthy fish will just kill a good fishes appetite and do more damage than good.

Sorry, FME if you do not over dose and play safe, especially with some Centropyge spp., those medications and treatment are safe.
Why should these treatments if done propperly kill a good fish, on what are you basing it on?

Are any of you guys housing these cool water fish in tanks with corals?

Yep.

No pretty Anthelia here though

Copper affects a fishes appetite. If the fish is not eating, its immunity goes down and disease prevails. If a fish is healthy and eating, preventatary treatment is a different story. I just prefer not to put fish through treatment if it does not show signs of disease with the exception of Prazipro, which treats internal parasites, that I cannot see.

Im not saying there is a protocol of treating any angel that comes to mind with same doeses. there are different doeses to different species.
For example i have found out that Golden angels are very sensetive to copper, so i wouldnt even try more than 0.15 on them only if i need to.

What Im saying was reffered to the 'living dead" some fish can fall into that category , but with few very simple steps be pulled out of that category very easily.

P.S.:FME copper wont affect fish appretite at low doses, you need a Merck test kit to measure that though.
