Hopefully it works, I used Cupramine by seachem. To bad your not closer as I still have an almost full bottle I could of gave you. It's buffered active copper so as far as I'm aware it's supposed to be not as hard on the fish as other copper treatments. The bottle says "Less toxic, superior to, and safer then copper chlorides, sulfates, citrates and chelates"

Good to know.

How's it going today Brad?

when I left this morning, I had just turned the lights on. The queen now has some white spots, which still, to me, look like ich.
The tank was a bit cloudy, so I think a water change is in order when I get home. I'll have a better idea then on what the day looks like :)

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Brad. I went through a similar battle a few years back. It was only a 33g tank, but I lost 4 out of 6 fish, as I didn't know what it was until they started dropping.

Thanks Kelly. The problem with this stuff is I still am not entirely sure what it is. Velvet is typically much smaller than ich, and shouldn't be visible as dots, but I have dots. Ich doesn't typically kill in three days and turn the fish stringy. Although I'm not an expert on ich, I've rarely had it, and it's always gone away on it's own.
So I'm treating for something I haven't identified. Hopefully I'm doing the right thing, and hopefully an unfiltered treatment tank doesn't cause more stress and kill them with the cure.

why not make a small(ish) wasp trap out of a 500ml pop bottle. Cut the top off and invert it into the bottom and zap strap it together. bait and wait. you could cut the bottom down to a smaller size if you don't have much room.

Make sure to put a call out if you need more equipment or rock or ...... so we can help if we can. Gotta work together when something like this happens.

Is it possible that its both ick and velvet, might be the velvet stressing the fish and making ick appear?

I think I'm suffering something similar in my tank, I haven't purchased a new fish in about a year though. The last thing I added was a few SPS colonies from J&L on boxing day, and prior to that I haven't had anything new in there since about October. I lost my favourite fish so far and 2 others are showing similar signs to what you're describing. Why couldn't it be the ugly fish I don't care about? :(

Yes, I suspect that's possible, and even likely.
