If there are no other critters in the tank, I would just leave them in the main tank and treat them in there. As Anthony C. said, your main tank is now infected with eggs and even if you get the...

I do agree that a freshwater dip will probably knock whatever it is off. It's easy to see flukes in the dip(but I don't think that is what you have going on). You can actually see them turn white...

I don't think it sounds like flukes. Flukes are transparent when they are on the fish. They only turn whiteish when they fall off the fish dead like after a freshwater dip. If you are seeing some...

We just did an observational QT for our dragon moray but he went into a tank by himself. Just don't be alarmed if it does not eat at first. I believe our dragon moray went like 3-4 months before it...

Tcmfish, my foxface is also not the normal color. It is often brownish or a dull yellow. Mine is very shy still and I had to cover half my tank while he is in QT. I was hoping he would turn the...

A sea K - I have a Kole tang who also relentlessly chases my lawnmower blenny. Anytime he sees it he chases it into a hole. I think he knows its his competition for algae.

I feel a little better but, do you think 15 can find enough decaying matter to eat? They are pretty big. I think maybe 5 would have been more appropriate.

Flame angel and copper

Will a flame angel tolerate a copper like cupermine. It is supposed to be ok for copper sensitive fish. Or is hypo the way to go with these guys?

Thanks
