I set up a new 90 gallon tank three months ago and recently transferred all my fish with no problems. I left my old 42 gallon tank set up as a halfway house for new fish.
Tuesday morning I got a Heniochus diphredeus that I special ordered, a Randall's Goby, a Blackray Shrimp Goby and a Neon Cleaner Goby, all from Blue Zoo. I did a two hour drip and everybody looked fine. The next morning the Heniochus and the neon goby had white spots on fins and body that looked like ich to me, but all spots were gone by the afternoon, which seems kinda fast. Could it be something else that looks like ich?
I plan on treating with ParaGuard (copper), but the old tank still has live rock and sand in it. Since all the new fish are small, I am going out today to buy a 10 gallon tank to set up a proper quarantine. I will fill with freshly mixed water using RO water, and drip-transfer the fish after 24 hours. Any thoughts on this plan?
