Foxface went blind - Page 3 - Aquarium Advice

Have you tried putting a little Garlic Gaurd in there? Alot of times it entices them to feed. I believe you can put 1 or 2 drops right in your tank. Wait a couple of minutes and then put the seaweed in there.

If you Foxface is not afraid of you, you can get a cube of frozen mysis. Let it sit out for a few minutes where it is thawed a little bit but where you can still hold it. See if he will eat out of your fingers.

Hope this helps

I would add the garlic directly to the nori and then clip (give it a few minutes to saok in first). Remove it after several hours.

I left a piece of seewead in there all day yesterday. I put it in the bottom corner where he hangs out. When I got home from work I checked and he had his mouth actually touching it but was not eating.

I don't have any garlic but I'll get some and try that.

Thanks.

Does the fish still have erosion, especially the mouth area?

cmor1701d · 05-01-2008, 01:17 PM

Yes, is it healing or staying about the same?

Sorry for the delay in my reply.

He didn't make it. Yes, his mouth was pretty banged up.

Thanks for the help though.
