One Large QT or Two Smaller Ones

[nuxx]

Found the Hawaiian Cleaner dead a few days ago.

He was eating strong from day one, but I noticed the day before I found him dead that he wasn't out much. When he came out to eat he had red marks on his body. This was around the same time the Crescent Tail Wrasse started coming out more.

When I found him dead he had more red marks on his body and his tail was pretty much gone.

I'm getting another with the Bandit today, and he'll be in his own 10 gallon QT. Just too much of an annoying fish to QT with other fish.

The CBB, Potter's, Midas and Crescent are aggressive eaters now

Do you have lids on those tanks? They seem awfully close together. Are you worried about parasite infection via tank proximity?

Yes I have netted covers.

Not worried about cross contamination since I'm treating with copper and paraguard proactively around the same time.

New fish came in last night and have been in their tanks for about 16 hours.

The Cleaner Wrasse has a bit of ammonia burn from a delayed flight in LA I'm guessing.

The Bandit seems bold and active.

I fed everyone today and:

- Copperband Butteflyfish : Very aggressive eater, eats everything offered. What I thought was ich, looks more like Lympho to me. What do you think? Big white marks on it's tail.

- Crescent Tail Fairy Wrasse : Now out all the time and eats pretty much anything.

- Potters Angel : Now out a lot and will eat most things that float by him without spitting out.

- Midas Blenny : Hides all the time, but is a pig when it comes to eating.

- Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse : Out all the time and seems to have a feeding response, didn't witness anything eaten, but it's hard to see with how dark the tank is. His mouth was definitely open he was chasing stuff.

- Bandit Angel : Out all the time as well. Also has a feeding response but as with the new Wrasse, I didn't witness something 100% get eaten. Also has it's mouth open and chasing things around.
