Ich In My Tank

Abbey · 02-11-2007, 12:29 PM

In My 20 Gal Tall Tank I Realized Something Was Wrong With My Tank When My Scooter Blenny And Cleaner Wrasse Died The Same Day. Now I Only Have A Maroon Clown And 2 Snails Which Are Currently In A Fish Bowl Because That Is The Best I Can Do For Them Untill My Tank Is Clear Of The Copper In The Med.s I Used To Treat Ich.

Is There Any Way I Can Increase My Clowns Chances? How Much And What Should I Feed The Clown Currently I Am Feeding A High Quality Flake Food. Also What Was Wierd Was My Clown Was Not Eating The Live Brine Shrimp I Was Feeding Before My OTHER Fish Died.

Does the clown show any signs of ICH?, If you treated the tank according to the directions you should be able to return the clown to the display tank, the snails however will not be able to tolerate any level of copper. As for feeding, brine shrimp are not really the best thing to feed it IMO, brine shrimp are better suited for fresh tanks and is not natural to salt water fish, I recommend you switch to frozen mysis shrimp or brine with sprulina which is feed a different diet than std. brine shrimp.

Well The Clown Had Ich But Is Clear Of It Now. I Just Bought Some Frozen Mysis Shrimp From My Lfs And Soaked Them In Fresh Garlic With A Little Water To Thaw Them The Clown Did Not Eat Any Of Them. He Tried Some Both Time S I Fed Him But Spit Them Back Out, But He Did Eat The Formiliar Marine Flakes. Tomorrow I Am Trying To Just Feed The Frozen Shrimp And Not Thaw Them In Garlic Even Though I Have Done Garlic Soaks Before.and The Clow Ate The Food.
