a have not seem any sign of popeye, but I'm afraid I may have contaminated the tank next too it atleast. The only thing that I can figure out is if I unknowingly used the bucket that I brought fish home in to do water changes.:(
But I have lost 3 angels from this other tank in question and also yesterday I lost one of my big Koi out of the original tank.:'(
I have been dosing metro since sunday!

WOW sorry to hear that.  I know what that feels like. Around Christmas last year I got some fish from A guy and wanted them to pair off with some of my others and lost all of them to what ever they had.  Hard lessons.  I will never go with out some kind of QT again

No tanks or fish just good friends and allot of fun...

It'll bite you for sure.....

I infected a fry tank with a tank of sick rams before. I did a water change on the sick tank then the fry tank with the same hose. Jon probably remembers that I called him a lot. He's such a great help.

Did they end up making it? I'm hoping I didn't contaminate any others!

I did lose a lot of fry plus the rams. But I saved some of the fry. I think the rams had flukes worms. I ended up using API General Cure Anti-Parasitic Fish medicine. After I used it I didn't lose anymore fry. It sucks when you  contaminate other tanks.

Yes it does! It had me very paranoid about doing it even more

Got any medicated flake around??....if so, I'd feed em some....or treat with 'metro' and raise the tank temp up to 88deg.......could be 'Hex' ???

Did you see the white poo in the existing fish that just died?

One of the existing fish had gotten a lesion on his head and was rolling over and hiding a lot for a few days before it died. The other
2 I saw no warning at all.
