Ich

[N1z]

I decided to gret rid of alot of my fish and so i had to take out all my LR. Now this stressed the fish that remains like hell, untill my flame angel got ich. Not good.

Now its a reef tank and i dont wanna quarantine him due to i dont have a tank nor stress him even more by jabbin a net in tank.

Ive changed the uv bulb and cleaned out the quartz sleev and now feeding garlic soaked mysis.
Do you think this will work? Obv it will take bit longer and have to mainly wait for it to kill off the swimming stage parasites. If not im gunna do myxizin by waterlife that is supposedly reef safe, i used it before but i remember it pissed my corals off for weeks and i didnt have LPS then what you think?

 

[leecara]

dunno about the corals but have u got anything what eats the parasites like a neon goby or a cleaner shrimp....? if not its probaly wise adding 1

Well, USUALLY, stress-induced ich does not kill pygmy angels quickly at all. I would actually reccomend stable environment, good feedings, and the introduction of a cleaner type organism like a neon goby or skunk cleaner shrimp

Really brilliant, im feeding like 8 houred garlic soaked mysis so it boosts their immune plus might get new era flakes the ones also to boost the immune system also.

Yeah I had some of those stress induced ich events. The best thing is not to freak out and try all sorts of stuff. If you freak out they freak out and then it gets worst and you start waving the VooDoo chicken over the tank cause you read that on the internet....


Let it be it will clear up. Minimize the impact...no water change, no over feeding, no trying to catch the fish, no chemical...let it take it's course...I'm sure your fish will be fine.

Good Luck
