Sorry if I am asking a repeat question here but after 2 hours or research I could not find any comments on this.
About 2 weeks ago I added a Blue Tang to my 70 gallon corner tank. I didnt want to add him b/c I knew they were more prone to parasites but my wife HAD to have Dorie. Its a FOWLV, PH 8.3, Ammonia, Nitrite & Nitrate at 0, salinity at 1.025.
Dorie brought Ich into the tank. My Flame Angel got a spot or two but it went away after a few days. All other fish look great, everyone is eating fine including Dorie, but tonight the spots look worse than before and she is scratching quite a bit. I don't have a quarantine tank and I dont want to add copper to the tank either. Considering all the other fish are doing fine, I was thinking of a fresh water dip for Dorie but I could not find any comments on this forum about the subject. Will it help, is this a wate of time? Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
BTW, I just added a UV Steralizer today so I am hoping if I can get Dorie cured the tank should be good.
