Attn: Beth Or Terry - Ich Consistancy?

[timsedwards]

Hi Both,
Well my RxP treatment has just entered the second phase, all seemed going well except one of my clowns has it. But this is the confusing thing, he is the only fish that has had it in the last 2 weeks or so - the yellow tang and other clownfish are fine! Why is this? Is the clown weaker and easier for the Ich? Its not nearly as bad as it was last time he had ich (5 days ago) so I see that as a better sign, but any idea why it is just him?
Cheers for the help,
Tim.

Hmmm interesting thought Terry I just presumed it was Ich.
They dont really vary in size although it looks like sand sprinkles and no, I havent seen a pic of that other disease...?
Well the other two fish ahve been 'ich free' for nearly 12 days or so, the other has it but not nearly as bad as last time, and it stayed on him for less than 12 hours or so. Admittedly it takes 2 or 3 cycles of RxP and PolyOx to catch it apparently and I started the second today.
Can you post a pic of lymphocystis, although I will look for one as well.
All the best,
Tim.

Well, doesn't sound to me like the "reef safe" med isn't working, thus its time to go to "Plan B".

Well I think it maybe workin as it said it will take 2-3 cycles of the medication, and I have just started the second, and to be honest I dont know what Plan B is as I do not have a refractometer and cant get one for some time, and my QT it cycling.
I am just hoping for the best at the moment.
Cheers for the help,
Tim.
