Hi
does anyone have a 40g or 55g tank i can borrow for a few weeks as several of my large fish are sick (i think its oodinium as three small anthias and a juvi emperor go wiped out overnight). I only have two 20g tanks and i thinks this is not enough room for eight medium to large fish including a 7' queen angel/ I'm located in Old Bridge and can pick up the tank tomorrow. I'm going to treat the qt with copper and keep the dt fishless or hypo for a month. Btw a few fish began to flash and scratch over the weekend and i come home today and three are dead some of the others have cloudy eyes. I had just picked up some inverts and a few fish the last two weeks. now i have no idea where this parasite came from but i will never, ever again put anything in my tank w/o QT for a few weeks first. hey and if the new fish dies in qt it wasn't meant to be but at least i wont get my tank wiped out. I know theres many people out there who don't believe in qt but believe me its worth the trouble. I dont htink this was ich becuase i did not see the white spots on any fish . just the cloudy eyes, flashing and fast breathing .
thanks
Peter
