Acquired a Coral Beauty juvenile over the weekend and was anxious to get him in the tank. My mistake. No visible signs of Ich so I gave him an overnight bath in my QT bucket w/half dose coppersafe as a preventative measure. I usually QT all new arrivasl for at least 5 days.
So I acclimate him to the tank and intially he seemed fine. He started to establish his territory and pick algae from the rocks. It wasn't until day 2 that I noticed he was trying to ich himself against the rocks. I have since taken him out and have him back in QT w/ full dose coppersafe.
My question has to do with my other fish. Should they be treated for ich after being exposed to it for 1 day only? Or are they safe? Again, there are no visible signs of ich, even on the angel. However his behavior says different.
My parameters are:
Trates - 10ppm
Trites - 0
Ammonia - 0
Ph - 8.5
SG- 1.022
Thanks in advance
