Ich in frozen food?

Again husbandry is more than tank size so please tell me what is bad about a pair of false personifers and a scribbled?? Still waiting on a real answer out of you on this... I asked if anyone has had problems with LRF and disease... This isn't the first time pathogens and food have been brought up together in a thread. I mentioned that the last time I got seemingly healthy fish from a different source they also brought velvet into my system killing the other two fish that were in the tank which were perfectly healthy. I had received fish from this other source multiple times with no issues what so ever. I don't think I like your attitude and maybe you should contact Larry to try and be his cheerleader. Also you keep pointing out husbandry, that implies either the tank was too small or there were too many/ the wrong kind of fish together... Neither which are the case so I guess what I'm saying is pick another word to use because "husbandry" isn't the correct one. Nice 3rd post BTW

Even if a retail outlet isn't running copper, the wholesaler/distributer most likely is. So unless the retail outlet held a fish in a copper free system for an extensive time, the fish is still coming from a recent copper "parasite managed" environment. A fish exploding with velvet 3 weeks after copper removal is pretty common.

My last fallow period was over 4 months and withing 2 weeks of adding 2 healthy fish that went through 2 months of QT they both died from what looks like brook..so yeah for me fallow periods are a waist of time. I did not run a UV in my system before but not anymore, i'm sticking with it.

Your system may have crashed from Uronema... Looks a lot like brook, but not a fish obligate parasite, so fallow is useless for this case.

I will offer you some advice. Husbandry is how you care of animals. Stressing your fish out because you are medicating fish and have no clue what you are doing is bad husbandry. Providing crappy water for your fish is bad husbandry. Adding fish to a cycling tank is bad husbandry.

If it makes you feel better blame Larry's food. Your fish are dying because of the way you care for them also known as providing poor husbandry.

Maybe you should do a search for books and articles on reef tank husbandry :reading:

I find your title a little troublesome. I don't think it was Larry's food that killed your fish, I think it is your husbandry. From this statement you made it seems that you have a habit of killing your fish. It is wrong to put the blame on Larry and his food. Larry takes unprecedented steps to ensure he provides the best food possible.

"Well the scribbled is laying on its side breathing heavy so it's a goner for sure the male is still swimming around so we will see if I can save him. Still haven't seen the juv which is never good. I lost my bandit and crosshatch male in June to velvet I believe judging by how quickly the fish went and one after another"

Nice first couple of posts buddy. Why don't you get the lay of the land before starting to be a d i n k . Dmorty has been a helpful member of the community here and has excellent husbandry as well as social skills... maybe you could learn something from him.


So sorry for your troubles man, I had my tank wiped out last year from either brook or velvet and I have had a hard time with QTing thus far. I have made many mistakes but learned lots from threads you have contributed to. It can be so frustrating! Keep it up man!
 
Thanks Brian, I seem to bring that out in people for whatever reason. Gesso clown thank you for the kind words. Last question is how to deal with what I'm assuming is velevet in the 625g now?

We don't really know what it was that caused my crash but the point is unless you have a surefire way of identifying parasites and I am not talking about observing fish behavior or symptoms, you will never really have peace of mind that waiting an "X" amount of time will rid your system of it. I would rather stack the odds in my favor by starting over versus going fallow. Yes it is a lot more work but it will pay off in the end plus will take a lot less time.

Fair enough, in this case I agree for an empty fo/fowlr, bleach and restart gives peace of mind and makes sense. Fallow would be exponentially cheaper if it were an established reef system.
