hey guys. I have been battleing with a coral beuty angel with ich for a bit now, and i went away to y gradnfathers overnight. The previous day i put in some Coppersafe for ich treatment because my little tomato clown also caught it. They were doing well before i left in the morning. When i got back the next afternoon the coral beuty was dead and my clown had a lot more of it!! So here comes the basis of my question, also overnight he now has a cottony looking growth on his eye and some hanging off. But he also has the small white specks of ick!! im not sure what it is so i bought treatment for both. Sorry no pics yet, i dont have a digital camera so i had to buy a disposable one and ill have some tomorrow!!! Any suggestions on ways to treat them?!javascript:smilie('

water change, forget the copper-it's garbage, go with hypo for at least 4 weeks, feed fish selecon or zoecon, try garlic(may or may not work), for secondary infections use nitrofurazone(should work on fungus as well), otherwise, hope things clear up for you.

How long have you had that clownfish? Is it possible that he has brooklynella? Take a look at the pics in the Diseased Fish Thread.
