Ich!!

You wanna fight?? You're a nut, I'm a tiger, let's see how it ends!! I'm kind of mad at LSU right now. They lost to Bama and they could have made a field goal at least. There was something behind that game, but I'm not sure what it was.

Anyway, Yes, pretty simple! I'm going to give it a few days and see if they're still eating. If the aren't, I'll pull them out and do the hyposalinity treatment.

Thank you very much for your help, and I'll post daily to let everyone know how the fish are doing.

 

lol! yeah! that was bad! not sure what the heck les was thinking!kinda funny after that performance you're still talking smack! We got urban baby!

Anyways if ya do the hypo, remember to go slow in dropping down and back up! but i'd only pull the fish that aren't eating anymore! the selcon and garlic should help prevent that! Good luck to ya, hope they pull through! i only lost one in my battle! After this remember, its in your tank, so keep stress and stock low! That way hopefully its not a prob again!

 

Where did your ich come from?

Quarantining?

 

Nope, I don't quarantine.

Only thing I can think of is it was either dormant on the yellow tang or dottyback when I got them a month ago, or it was dormant on a puffer I housed in the sump a month ago. The puffer also has ich, and I've been treating him for a week.

 

how are you treating the puffer in the sump and not the tank?

 

I have beaten ich twice. Once a very mild case and once a full outbreak using "Kick Ich." I didn't lose a fish and had no adverse effects to any corals from softies, to LPS, and SPS. Also, the formula didn't hurt any of my CUC including: crabs, hermits and snails. Some people although have had really bad experiences with the same stuff, so I don't really know why the reviews can cover such a large spectrum of bad to good, but look into it if you haven't already.

 

He's in his own tank. He's been in his own tank since Christmas eve, but he was in my sump for about a week before that.

 

cool! food luck man! I'd pick up a bottle of the herbtana just in case! But hopefully ya wont need it!

 

lol sorry! good luck man!

 

Garlic guard, seachem focus, and seachem metronidazole....soak food in all three and feed the fish. Reef safe, and I have had good success with this method. Metronidazole is used in treatment in humans also, mostly for female issues.
