ok so its been a while...
last i think yall heard of me my briareus babies were all dying and i was in the process of moving. well the move went fine except all the babies died. so i figured well ive been doing the octo thing for a while how bout i go to fish for a bit. so i got a snowflake eel, big eye squirrell fish, juvenile lionfish, niger trigger, seargent major damsels, scopas tang, and put in a harlequin tusk that ive had forever. then i catch a look down at the beach thats only about 2 inches long and think hey this would be cool in the tank. then within 10 days and everything is dead except the snowflake eel. so i think well crap that sucks. then the other day i catch a baby sheeps head and a baby gag grouper(which is a freak occurance in the estuaries of south carolina) and figure well i guess i can go to a local fish tank. 3 days later both fish are dead, and the eel is still kickin.
so finally i get over being hard headed and come to find out that what my fish may be getting is velvet, which really sucks.
long story short im giving up on fish. im gonna put my eel in my reef tank, and go back to cephs since velvet doesnt affect inverts to my knowledge (my sea hare is fine so are my corals). so heres my question, does velvet affect octos?
