Quarantine Start Date Aug. 28 for Allen's Damselfish.
I received my back ordered damselfish today, from Live Aquaria. Acclimation was a little frantic, as they told me the fish would be in water at 1.021 salinity, and they came at 1.016. So I had to quickly adjust salinity in three QTs.
Each QT got Stress Coat and General Cure to start with. Once they've settled in I'll start lowering salinity to hypo levels. I also have metroplex on-hand, if I see any signs of uronema. I may go ahead and start it prophylactically, since once the tell-tale signs are there, it's too late.
It seems strange treating damsels like some frail, delicate butterflyfish or something, but here we are. The Allen's Damsels are not great shippers, so it's seems a good idea to go the extra mile. I'm really trying hard to get my act together on the QT front.
Time will tell!
