Purple Tang, ICH, Opinion Please!

Don't take chances. Treat all fish as if they have ick.

Purple has been free of ich symptoms now for 10 days, but is scared of its own shadow in the QT. Curious. Is this a symptom of cupramine treatment?

Also, can you use the API copper test for cupramine or do you have to use either the seachem of salifert tests? I've been using the former and am wondering if it is not properly reading the Cu levels.

Happy to report that purple has completed four weeks in cu without any recurrence of symptoms, and continues to eat well. Prazipro next. Remaining fish in the observation tank have never shown any symptoms, so bullet apparently dodged (tho one of th Bartletts went carpet surfing - amazing how they seem to find the holes in the covers ).

Sorry to hear about your anthias. Glad the tang is doing well!

Seriously I wouldn't pout the other fish back with the treated fish. Ich will come back and the cycle starts over.
