Lost My Falcula

[1234-fishy-freind]

Hi guys, as some know, I bought a falcula butterfly 9 days ago and this morning I descovered it had died.
All my other fish also have a disease of ich and velvet since today.
I am thinking that either the falcula brought the disease with it which infected he rest and killed it or the disease has recentally came about and killed the butterfly. I am very sad as my grandad has recentaly lost abou £3500 worth of fish in his large pond, including some prize koi. And it seems like I might be about to lose some of my fish.

I have started a treatment so hopefully I will be able to get things back under control. Not a good day in the life of a marine fish keeper.

seffieuk, im using eesha oodinex. It's a three day treatment but if it doesnt work I will try a stronger copper based med. However, do copper based meds damage live rock?

I believe copper based meds are extremely deadly to invertebrates. This shouldn't be a problem, since you have a FOWLR tank.
