Hello all! On Thursday I had to set up a quarentine for my two tangs because the were getting ich. So I went to the fish store by me and asked what whould I need because I didn't set one up yet. So the store said I could use a big tote or tub like thing so I wouldn't have to spend so much money for a tank. I also needed to buy a sponge filter and heater. So to treat the two tangs I needed some copper chemical to kill the ich or something velvet disease on the fish. So I bought that too and went home to set it up. I got a big tote or tub like thing and filled it with some of my tank water. Then I added more water from the sink. I cured the water.Then I added it slowly along with the tangs. They caught the ich from my clowns who didn't make it. So I added water to my tank after I set up the quarentine to fill it back up. My puffer and trigger are in the tank by themselves because they seem to not have the ich. I am keeping an eye on them though. So the fish store told me not to feed them right away and to wait a couple days. So I decided I would tried tonight. I tried a little bit of mysis but they didn't eat it. So I decided to put a little seaweed in to see if the would eat that. Then I could tell by that way anyways. They are eating that though. I saw them picking at it. So far they are doing good. I am using the copper and It's working. I am hoping they will be okay in 3 to 4 weeks so they can go back in the main tank. I hope that the puffer and trigger won't get it so they have to go in but they seem okay. The tangs are looking good too. So far so good! Oh, Sorry for such a long post guys!
