I need some meds for a fungal/bacteria infection for my copperband. He is showing signs. If anyone nearby has some I would greatly appreciate it.
 
Yeah SId it looks like I'll be picking some of that up today. I am looking for a larger tank on CL right now to hospital my entire stock and go fallow in my main tank. My original melanarus wrasse I bought from....previously mentioned sponsor between us....has brought some sort of death plague into my tank.

It looks like my CB butterfly is going to drop dead now and I already lost my hawkfish, original wrasse, and both anthias.

I originally thought flukes (Not gill), but the one anthias had popeye (fungal) and the CB had what looked like bruises (red) under his scales with teh scales standing on end in those areas. It almost looked like blood spots honestly.

SO I have treated with prazipro already twice and noticed improvement until last night with the butterfly so I am just going to go fallow for a bit.
 
With the rate the symptoms has spread and to so many different species that became lethargic then died, have you looked into possibility of it being Marine Velvet? Or perhaps tank poisoning? Electricity leak?
 
Hey Akunochi, Fishy makes a good point. I was absolutely sure all my fish were going to die a couple of months ago after I did a big plumbing change. I thought it was disease or parasites and even lost one fish but everyone has made it and looks great now.

Lee recommended huge water changes and plenty of food. So I did 30 gallon changes every day for 2 weeks and probably overfed my tank...
 
Yeah I'm not sure what was going on so I went out and set up a 70 gallon hospital/qt tank. I got all my fishy friends moved over and am going to remain fallow for 8 weeks.
