if i understand this correctly, the extract has to be assimilated by the fish for it to work. and, like you said, it acts more in camouflaging the fish rather than killing the attached parasite, right? so, regardless of which protozoan you are dealing with, it should be more of a preventative...

i'll be candid about this all-too-common subject so, here goes...does it really work against ich? will it help in eliminating velvet and brooklynella? lastly, does it really improve appetite? i ask these because, of the few times i tried feeding garlic-soaked food to my fish, they always ended...

it goes without saying that any new additions should be quarantined for at least 2 weeks- enough time for the tang and damsel to get settled in the main while the clowns are in the qt. ciao!

how about a volitans lion? read that it is as tough as damsels... wow! hope my clowns also live that long!

yup, he was a great loss! :cry: here in manila, it is rare to find a healthy coral beauty, much less a feeding one. i guess i was just so paranoid about the possibility of another disease outbreak after suffering two wipe-outs from velvet and ick. i'd almost take every conceivable measure to...

thanks for the help! unfortunately, he died this morning :cry: i guess the stress was too much for him and the move to the QT was no better at that point.

might be the flameback angel, centropyge aurantonotus.

i need your help! my coral beauty is having a hard time keeping his balance and it seems like the problem might be his swim/gas bladder. looking at him, it seems like he is dragging his tail while his swimming pattern is similar to that of my ocellaris clowns'. it's been three days now since...

greetings! has anyone tried their hands on this fish? is this a hardy fish?what should i feed it? i've been considering on buying this fish but have no idea if anyone had any luck in keeping it. also, is the foxface rabbitfish resilient? thanks!

yes, it doesn't seem to be brooklynella but the symptoms seemed to point otherwise. well, he seems to be better now. the freshwater dip must have saved him for the meantime. nonetheless, i'll try to improve the tank conditions and re-set up the quarantine tank in case of a recurence...

hello guys! i am new here so i hope you would help me... and quick if that's not too much to ask? this morning, i noticed that my flagfin angel developed some white patches all over his body. though i didn't notice any adverse reactions from this, i opted to do a 10 minute freshwater dip just...

before anything else, i'd have to say that i am green with envy! :mrgreen: you can have all the fishes and inverts you want for free... especially that blue tang! i hope you can send some to me! :mrgreen: moving on... imo, the best way to effect a treatment is by proper diagnosis of the...
