    I'll let you all know what the LFS owner says.

    I just sent the place where I bought the fish from a semi-nasty email. Lol We will see what they say. If they don't credit me any money I will call and ask to speak to someone higher up.

    They obviously sent her out sick, and that really grates me since now my whole tank is getting sick.

    Okay, so the LFS owner thinks it is lympho. He isn't positive, but that's what it sounds like to him. Fungus shouldn't be so contagious. I'm going to bring him a picture and a water sample either tonight or tomorrow.

    He said for lympho to keep the water really clean and feed well. He also said there is something I can add to their food.

    He also said she must have been shipped sick, because it couldn't get so bad in less than 24 hours (the time she was being shipped). Grrrrrr!

    I hope it is lympho - it will be easier to take care of than fungus. He said fungus is so hard to get rid of.

    Good luck my friend, I thought it sounded like Lympho from the start. :( Really bummed out that they would even think of sending a fish out sick. and for it to be around 24 hours for it to get wrose... :\ I hope they give you the response you deserve!

    Make sure to wet skim and do frequent water changes, but not too frequent. May every 3-4 days. Also, I would run a lot of carbon, can't hurt and it may help.

    Thank you!! I do hope it's lympho lol!

    Thanks. I contacted them. So we will see what they say. I asked for credit for all three anthias. I think that's fair. I have given them a lot of money in fish and coral.
