sounds like thats how i will go about it. thanks.

just a thought, seems like the local collages should have a 101 class on saltwater fish keeping

lion would the stop parisite work on my yellow tank that looks like it may have black ick?

thanks mavgi, and loin for ALL your help.mavgi sorry about my fast fingers . sounds like a plan. sooooo happy it might not be brook that freaked me out. :scared: well off to the store i go for my babys. wish me luck on finding the formilan.

Loin. she hasnt looked like that. she might have a a couple of spots, but to me looks like something else, but very close to the pic. and only a few spots on her side. as for her being at the top of the tank, she never did that until the spots came. Started out with her at the botton of the tank...

One more Q. Can i put stop paraste or kick ick in my main tank? hippo tang yellow tang mandarine sand sifter lawnmower wrasse clown 4 sm. light blue group fish(?) 2 cleaner shrimp anemone

WOW! Do i do the Hypo, and the formalin bath at the same time? and how do i go about that? ALL fish? or just the ones with spots. hippo tang,yellow tang, and then theres my clown. The strange thing about the clown is she was never breathing hard. She would just go up to the top and lay sidesways...

Thanks. I will do. I have been running carbin in my QT tank for 3 days now. im going to change the carb.filters today. And i will test the QT tank for copper. I have not put anything in the dis. tank before, but i think i might have to. Just scared my fish and cleaner shrimp, and all others...

If its black ick, would my Pacific cleaner wrasse clean that off of my yellow tang? Im still not sure thats what it is. She is new to the tank. black spots not covering her body, just some around the eyes and down her body (straight line going back) Could this be something else?

Loin, Thank you for the input. I will be going to the LFS to get some live rock, and see what they have for meds. I will get a tester for the other. Thanks!!!

p.s i do have a QT tank. At the moment it has coppersafe in it. (which i dont like). Should i do the formalin bath,or is there a less toxic treatment, that works as well?

I have to go out soon, anything that i need to pick up for my little friends

also sounds like i should get more live rock (something i was going to do anyways).

o-ya what should i do about helping my yellow tang if i shouldnt do a bath? is there something that i can treat the whole tank to get rid of all those nasty little parasites?

I do not know the alkalinity level. Should I test for that? Sounds like it. I do add a calcium buffer part A & B about twice a week. Is this ok? I was told the live rock can take that out of the water, and then lowering the ph levels. My mandrine is the best lookinf fish in my tank. Funny cause...

Thank you. I will try the bath for my yellow tang. What should the salt level be. Im going off of what the fish store told me. Thats what its been at for 1 yr. And now seems like some of my fish are freaking out. Is there a way to get rid of ick in my main tank? Thanks for the info.

You will get to know the time of day when it will go through diff. changes. Freaked me out also when i got mine. They didnt tell me about it. I thought for sure it was dead. Then bam, back to norm. it went. It might take a few days for your clowns to make a home out of it, but THEY WILL. If you...

Looks healthy to me. I have the same one, and was told that its norm. for it to shrink, and blacken. How long have you had it? Make sure to feed it. Drop the food in the middle. feed it 2-3 times a week. Some clowns will even pick the part of the fish you drop in and take it to its home, to...

Ok! so the other day I asked for help for my clown fish, and the only one who even said anything was loin. Thank you loin for responding. Im very new to this chat and i need some advise on my fish. The local fish stores all say some thing diff. to do. Its driving me crazy . So now my yellow...

I would agree with loin. Garlic, and vite. C. Soak the food in it. I do garlic one day and C the next.
