After suffering multiple losses from ich and some to a mystery I am comlpletely paranoid now when I buy new fish. I recently purchased two black Clarkii Clownfish with orange faces and bellies, truly beautiful fish. Here is what I have done so far to treat them for anything I can think of:
-For Brook- Day 2-4: added Quick Cure to tank water at recommended dosage
-For Velvet-Day 4: freshwater dip for 4 minutes
-For Brook- Day 4: Formalin bath (Quick Cure 10X tank strength) for 25 minutes
-For Ich- Day 1-11: Tank transfer every two days now on day thirteen
-For Flukes-Day 10: Prazipro in tank water
They look great, eat well, breathe normally, no spots. One of them rubbed her gill area 3 days ago a few times but not anymore. I will continue tank transfer method for a while. This also keeps ammonia at zero and no need for copper.
My question is should I repeat the freshwater dip or formalin bath to prevent Brooklynella and Velvet?
