ok so my lil sweetheart has begun developing ich spots today the poor darling
. im going to go and buy some treatment which is reef and invert safe tommorrow but its 10:30pm atm. she started at bout 7pm and the ich has gradually yet slowly begub to be more aparent.
ive turned off the tank lights as ive heard this slows the reaction.
now ive heard covering the food in garlic can cause them to cheer up and even fix the problem. so far she is still eating the algae off the walls of the tank, is this a good thing?
also what sort of garlic are people refering to? minced garlic etc? we dont seem to have garlic juice here in australia so i duno what to use any ideas?
how long will it take for the ich to get real bad on my beauty? will she be ok till tommorrow morning when i get the medication?
i have melafix and pimafix here which stoped an outbreak in my f/w tank but its been unused for a few months and ive heard bad reports so im weary bout it!
i changed 2 buckets of water tonight. its a 4ft tank, anything else i can do?
