    cupramine treatment? question

    I am also getting a 0 copper test from seachem even with the reference. This test kit is terrible. I just wasted 10 dollars on this kit and time. I just email seachem about sending me another one. I have tried hypo before but the problem is the constant monitoring the ph and evaporation of...

    cupramine treatment? question

    Currently I am treating 2 maroon clown in a 20 gallon with ICH. I know they have ich because I got them from a LFS. I am into a week and so far all they are doing is hiding in the back of the sponge filter. The copper is now at .5 . They have not swim or eat or done anything since the...

    For me it doesn't seem to work, triggers and Angels. Angels are more delicate fish ( 50 or less nitrate ) and triggers are just plain dirty. But they can hold there own against a trigger. Anyway I am trading in my emperor for a maroon gold stride or huma trigger. I can't take the angels...

    Question about ICH?

    Hmm..but wouldn't using different fish would be a better study. Since the new fish would not have grown any kind of immune cell instead of using the same fish over and over again. That is why in some LFS shops there are fishes (triggers) that last quite a while in the shop, probably immune to...

    Question about ICH?

    Thanks for the info, Now I'm curious lets say someone use some of the reef safe meds or some med that can only kill the free swimming or on the body. Doesn' that buy time for the ich to eventually die off (of course assuming they don't add any more livestock). Since it really is around 1 year...

    I think ick is back!

    If it is only in Angels it could be just a parasites. Angels tend to have them easily. My emperor ocassionally gets them but it goes away with no treatment. I suggest keep nitrates close to 20 and observe. If it spreads then do the next step, is my advice.

    angels

    I would go with a lemon head angel for 20 dollars. See if you like them before getting 2 expensive angels. Angels are nice to look at but a very boring fish if you ask me. I have a emperor angel I got a few months ago, but is turning yellow now. They tend to eat slow and swim a little slow...
