Clown has spots

[Crazymex408]

One of my clownfish has ich/velvet. Should I dose copper to 1 or both. Plus I have 3 other different fish in the tank. 24 gal. The other 3 are a jester goby, mandarin dragon and royal gramma. I currently have them separated in a qt tank. I haven't dosed yet.

I see one little spot, is that all there is? Not sure it’s what you think it is if there’s only one spot…

Yeah. I'm going to observe them before I do anything. Currently separated from my main tank. They host the trumpet. The one just kept laying on top of the coral and panting more than normal. I haven't medicated yet. The last time I had a new fish was a prequarentined in the middle of April. Maybe I'm a paranoid new reefer.

That one spot doesn't immediately cause me to react with "thats Ich or velvet". Definitely observe and see how it heals.

But if it is indeed a parasite issue ALL fish in the tank would require treatment along with a fallow period (if you're shooting for eradication). However, so far it doesn't look like thats the case from the pics

I was reading about fallow for the eradacation. 6 weeks right? We will see eradication. I want to say this morning it was not as prominent. The only thing is my pH is sitting at 7.4. I did however buy a tunze 3181 to help with that.

those are some really nice looking clowns.

chloroquine phosphate will be the treatment medication

Thank you. I will have to wait and see how they look when I go home.

For brook & velvet its 6 weeks - 11 for ich.
There's some info on the humble fish forum stating that a temp of 80.6 ° drops the ich fallow timeframe down to 6 weeks as well

Seems to be going away. Idk.

Spot is gone completely. Maybe it scuffed itself
