velvet treatment advice needed......
Here's the deal. I have a 120 gal reef and the fish got velvet.
I ripped apart the whole tank and quarantined all the fish, however my six line wrasse hid somewhere in the LR and is now back in the DT.
I have been unable to catch it with a fish trap and whenever I go into the tank he disappears into the rock somewhere.
The other fish have all responded to the cupramine treatment and are recovering nicely. They have been in QT for a week.
The six line wrasse shows no visible signs or symptoms of the disease at all.
Even if I rip the tank apart again, there is no guarantee I will find the wrasse because he is hiding within the LR.
I am going to also try some really small hooks baited with salmon eggs.
My question....if I am unable to catch him and he is still symptom free after the 4 weeks of treatment, will it be safe to return the other fish to the tank?
I would appreciate any thoughts or advice.
Thanx
Blaine
