Rolo's Mini Ocean

They're eating so that's a good sign.

 

that is a good sign! sending you some positive karma!

 

I checked this morning on the way to work. They are all still alive thank god. I'm worried I need to be doing more. Did a water change yesterday, will do another water test this afternoon. Was thinking of stopping and getting them some meds. Any recommendations? I have a 10G I can use as a hospital tank.

 

The Engineer Gobies seem to have it the worst. I would imagine it's because they burrow more. The Blue Chromis, Hi Hat and wrasse seem unaffected. Surprisingly enough I watched the Hi Hat picking parasites off the clown so the clown seems to be doing a little better. Should I set up the 10G with 1.10 PPM water and put them in it?

 

Can't really see it here.

 

gosh, that is a hard question rolo - a 10 gallon will be pretty tight for those fish - you have two of the engineers right? the clown looks really good imo.......I'll let others chime in with suggestions on meds. A freshwater dip couldn't hurt

 

That does seem to be a tight squeeze for a hospital tank for all your fish. Garlic soaked food and good husbandry may do the trick. I would think that once the tank has ich short of draining the tank it will always be there so I'm not sure how much benefit you will get from removing them and treating them. Sometimes that just adds to the stress. I wish you luck my friend!

 

I'm gonna give this a try. They are all still swimming and eating. They are all healthy despite the ich. So I will have to try this and hope for the best.

 

sounds like a reasonable plan rolo - good luck! I really do ascribe to the quarantine after an outbreak being more stressful on the fish and then add in copper to that I think it's better to try a less stressful/increase immune response as a better way to go

 

I think thats a good plan. Please let us know exactly what you do and how they respond. Good luck!!
