Re: Ich on my Flame
I totally disagree.
Somebody explain to me how my fish will STILL carry ich AFTER I QT them long enough to kill the parasite AND leave the tank empty for 8-10 weeks.

Re: Ich on my Flame
Ok, RC, think of it like this. We as humans have germs that are always present. there is no amount of water we can drink, meds we can take or scrubbing in showers op Epison salts that will clear it off our bodies. We can live in a plastic bubble and be put in a totally sterile environment and we can still get sick. It is an inherent part of being human. Ich is just like that. there is nothing we can do to rid it from our fish. It just is. there are some fish that are more likely to have outbreaks (Tangs) and some that just do not.
For that reason, it is critical that we stock our tanks accordingly, with fish that get along, fish that fit our tanks and that are put in a system that will support its needs without causing stress. Sorry to burst your bubble. I hope that clears it up for you. -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 shark / angel reef tank and 90 gallon reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

Re: Ich on my Flame
That is correst sir. I ran into the same problem as you RC with a copperband. After do alot of reading I decided to just leave them be. I think if you put them in that small QT you will kill all of them.

Re: Ich on my Flame
yup. leave it be. IF it is eating, you are golden. 90% of the time, it just goes away and they get over it and seem to not get Ich again. It took almost 2 full weeks when I added Cosine, my Pink-Tail trigger (OMG, I named a fish, what have you done to me BIFF??!?!?!?!?!). It was probably the WORST case I had ever seen. She had it so bad, I saw more white than fish. She kept eating and today, 6 weeks later, there is not a single spot on her at all. Go figure.

Re: Ich on my Flame
I am also in the school of "leave them be" if they have ich. I think that quarantining fish will only stress them out more... I didn't quarantine Tangent (Cosine's e-lover) when he came down with ich, I let him fight it off on his own.

Re: Ich on my Flame
I need to post some new pics of Cosine in compromising positions so Tangent can take care of his needs. There needs to be some E-lovin between those two. I will try to get on that today

Re: Ich on my Flame
will do, Cosine has need too though. She wants to see that Tangent can provide for her, protect her and has masculine qualities. She wants to take care of her business as well, but...she needs some help
