I am having some issues with my main tank and ich. I am so freaked out that the ich will come back in my tank (going fallow for another 2 months) that I dont want to put fish in my tank! I am currently treating a foxface in a QT with copper. Had a puffer in there, he died. I do not want to...

My puffer has had spots on her fins for about a week. She is eating, not rubbing, sleeping in a cave during the day. I heard that ich spots fall off and then come back. Her spots never leave. Is it ich?

Well I wanted to try something before taking my fish out again, getting rid of them, and going fallow.... I am using nosickfish.com meds twice daily in my tank. I removed ALL of the media, and filter, from my canister filter. I want nothign in there that can possibly soak up my meds. Puffy...

I already went fallow for 4 weeks over a month ago and it didn't work. I want to try something else. maybe hypo in the main tank with all of the fish? Just remove the inverts and my LR that has the inverts on it. Leave that LR in a rubbermaid for 8 weeks to make sure the ich on it dies? wbs

But what do I do with my fish if I go fallow for 8 weeks? puffer, firefish, foxface.

I think you are right. What should I do??????? I am soaking her krill in garlic extreme, and using nosickfish ich drops twice daily. Is she doomed? EVEN if I set up a QT and she gets better..wouldnt she get the ich again if she is put back into the tank?

I have had my puffer for a week. She has been doing wonderful. Getting along with the other tank mate, a foxface. Eating twice a day, begging for food. Now today..BAM, white spots all over fins. These are not ich 'salt' spots, larger, more spread out spots. I do not have a QT because my...

I love tangs..but keep hearing they are ich magnets. I am going to add one fish, try to keep my hands out of the tank to reduce stress...more snails then for algae, give them garlic and vitamin C in their food...and TRY to prevent ich. I bought some ich med that is reef safe online from...

I LOVE the potter's angelfish! It says online that this is an expert only fish (marine biologists, zoo etc) I have heard that if it gets enough algae, it will do well.. true? My LR is covered in brown algae, will it eat this? Or should I settle on a coral beauty, also a gorgeous fish. I...

I have fiji rock and florida aquacultured rock in my tank. I like the fiji because it is very porus and some pieces have nice caves. I purchased one piece last week that has a lot of tube worms, small feather dusters, and some 'flea' like creatures. Some of the fiji has nothing but some...

Hi, I know about quarantine and lowering the salt and temp..BUT What if my WHOLE tank gets ich again? I already lost 6 fish and have no fish now for 8 weeks (except firefish) I cant QT all of my fish if the tank gets it or return all of the fish and do it again. What should I do if that...

Had an ich outbreak, no fish for 6 weeks..my firefish was my first fish and he is still in my tank... I am setting up a QT this week to introduce the new fish to. I know there should be no more ich but I want to make sure. Is there a medication that will not hurt inverts or LR just so i can...

Ive made my decision then..no puffers and no powder blue tangs! I CANNOT get ich again! Any tangs not that suseptable that you know of?

Well lets say I do my list, not the bf's..besides the eating of inverts (what inverts by the way?) will all of the fish get along? I heard that the 'reef safe' wrasse do not eat inverts?

Oh I know! He isn't allowed to put a trigger in there or a lion etc. CAN I have those fish on my list and will they get along together with inverts? (especially the puffer?) What order should I add the fish??
