A big thank you to John, Bob, Matt and Ed.

That was my very first thought as well, since I had heard of it typically being used with freshwater fish. However, this is the first I’ve potentially heard it used for saltwater fish. Is it effective against crypto, like it is for freshwater ick?

The older they get, the more territorial they get. In this case, territorial means mean and murderous. I had a Neon Velvet Damsel that allegedly killed two of my other fish. He was summarily relocated and put into the witness protection program. A true devilfish, if ever there was one...
