Arrggghhhh........sorry folks but I need to vent. My history with the cursed disease Whitespot has been a long and tragic one. Long story short I have suffered wipeouts, extreme frustration, tears and seen almost the end of my passion. However......since investing in a QT some 18 months ago, allowing my DT to go fallow for about 15 weeks and ensuring anything wet goes through my QT prior to its arrival in my DT I have surely conquered it.
About 4 days ago, after spending about 7 weeks in the QT my Coral Beauty angel was placed in the DT.
OMG......last night I witnessed my desjardenei tang scratch. Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It wasnt quite a normal whitespot sort of scratch but nevertheless he swam slowly, almost upside down and brushed the upper part of his head on the substrate. I searched him intensely. He is rather good that way. Whenever i peer closely into the tank he comes right up in front of me and displays. I could not see anything spotish at all. Also I was convinced the coral beauty did not have the disease or else I would not have put her in the tank to start with.
I so hope I am over reacting. I must be!!! Surely it can't be happening again. I guess all I can do is to continue to watch closely, cross my fingers and hope to God its not what I dread.
Anyways......I feel a little better now. Thank you for allowing me to vent
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
