Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hey all,
I have a 29 gal tank, I had a Yellow tail Damsel, Percula Clown, and a Copperbanded Butterfly. In the last week we have lost both the percula Clown, and the Yellow Tail Damsel.
The Percula clown stopped eating one day, and a few days later he died. The Damsel a couple days after the clown died, stopped eating, and today he died.
Right now the only Fish left is the Copperbanded butterfly, and we definitly DON'T want him to die.
Right now he is normal, he is eating fine and acting fine.
We also have 2 shrimp, a Fire Shrimp, and a Camel shrimp.
The Clown showed no visable signs of anything, but the damsel had about 5 pin hole white dots on his body the few days before he died.
(I don't SEE any on the butterfly, but obviously he has alot of white, so if there are pin hole white spots on his white bands, i can't see them)
I don't have a QT tank, only my main tank.
We just bought Ich Attack which is organic and is suppose to be Invert safe. Does anyone have any experience with this?
We also bought Kents extreme garlic which I am told is suppose to help keep the parasites under controll.
If it is a parasite, obviously we need to cure the tank before adding any fish back in.
If we do need to treat the tank and or fish with copper, I have thought about buying a 10 gal tank (If that's large enough?), and I could either put just the fish in there, or I could put the Shrimp in there, while treating the main tank.
Any input would be helpfull.
Thanks,
