the naso unfortunately passed.. he started getting all sort sorts of infections, but it was probably due to his immune system shutting down as all my fish are fine.
i started this thread because i purchased a pair of bluethroat triggers(december 21st), they are from hawaii (a very good source of fish) and were not exposed to copper, actually the lfs specifically put it in a qt tank separate from his system and i picked them up not even 8 hours later
they are eating like absolute pigs! however when i got them the male had a bad case of lympho, after feeding a good diet (mussels, clams, shrimp, octopus, pe mysis all soaked in selcon) the lympo is now 90% gone
i have done 2 rounds of prazi and i am about to get ready to do TT, i had to get 2 huge rubbermaid containers to do it, as the male is big
now i want to rule out velvet as i am paranoid, they have very mild cloudy eyes now i heard some fish like puffers have eyes that are not totally clear, however you have to really focus on the eye to realize it is a little cloudy, they have a crazy appetite swim everywhere, absolutely no scratching, now they do hide/sleep beside the powerhead and heater but i think that is the only place they can lock them self in
the female sometimes breathes fast.... and this is was scares me, again they have never been exposed to any medication other than prazi, and i am wondering if they could have velvet because of the breathing.
one more thing to add, i noticed a few salt looking spots on them last week, but it disappeared in less than 36hours... however i could not tt fish that big with my current tanks.
so should i tt or copper. i am dead scared of velvet! and do not know exactly what to look for, even after reading every thread that snorvich wrote about, i am still not confident
