Clown fish looks weird!!!

If you already have a thread going, it helps to post results in the same thread, rather than posting a new one.
A healthy fish should get over ick by itself.
I wouldn't move your fish around as it would only cause them more stress and make them sicker. For the moment I would make sure they are eating well and if not, add some garlic and selcon to the food to help them eat better.

 

Well the thread was getting kind of long. But Do i just add in regular garlic at local supermarket stores? And one of my clown fish is not eating.

 

+1 to Swagger. Ich is pretty common in our tanks (although we wish it werent) and a healthy fish will be able to overcome the ich on its own. Sort of like our flu viruses. Adding garlic juice and selcon will help to stimulate their appetites.

Glad to hear that you had your lfs test your water and even better for getting your own kit and testing to confirm results!!

 

It's ok if the thread gets kind of long. Sometimes when we are trying to help someone we will "subscribe to the thread" which allows us to see right away when someone makes a new post.

You can get the garlic that comes in a jar and drain the juice. That is what you will use to add to the food. Soak the food in a little bit of the juice. This might help him start eating.

 

It's ok, threads can be as long as you want. And it helps us to be able to help you better if we can read one complete thread rather than search through 10 different ones.
As for the garlic, you can either buy the expensive stuff at the petstore, or a little jar of diced garlic at the grocery store. Just take the juice and soak your food in it. Help the fish get their appetite. You can add a product called Selcon to help them be healthier too.

 

And this will help my fish eat more? Cause one of my clown is not eating at all and i dont know what to do with it ;( Would this help him to eating again?

 

If he is not too far gone, this should help him want to eat. Please keep in mind, that this is not a MIRACLE cure and you may still lose a fish, but these are the things that we do to try and give them the best chance we can.

 

Alright. Ill try it. But could you guys give me step by step on how to do the garlic and how to dip the food into it? Please? thanks.

 

You can just take whatever food you usually feed (Preferably a nice meaty food in small chunks) and take the lid from the jar of garlic, mix the food and a few drops of garlic juice (just enough to make the food wet) and let it sit for a minute or two so it can make the food nice and stinky.
If the fish is just a little sick, it will act like a starving dog on a big juicy steak. It may take a little longer if the fish is pretty bad tho.

 

Sure....

1. At the grocery store buy minced garlic in a jar (should have lots of juice - you want the natural stuff).
2. Using a strainer and a bowl, dump the contents of the jar and strain the juice out into the bowl.
3. Take an eye dropper and suck up some of the juice.
4. Place the portion of fish food in a small container.
5. Place a couple of drops on the food and let it sit for 15 minutes or so.
6. Feed your fish.
7. Put the rest of the juice in an airtight container and put it in the fridge.
8. Do this everytime you feed your fish.
