Fish getting along

I have this food called omega one natural protein formulia. Stats marine pellets with garlic. Also i have this primary food the i feed them with marine -s- by hikari. I don't use the omega one because the pellet is too hard and big for my fish to eat them. It just one fish has it. It been in the tank for three weeks. like i would say 2% cover.

If one fish in your ank has ich, they all can get it....
you need to get some better foods...get some frozen mysis, marine cuisine, emerald entree
pellets and whatever the other thing is are not very good.....
 
Opps i meant to word it. I am just curious why did ich just sudden decided to appear. Ok I will look into those type of food. Does the fish show sign of aggression during ich age?

Don't know about the aggression thing.....the ich was introduced with one of your fish additions.....ich can be in your tank and not visible if the fish are healthy and not stressed......once a fish becomes vulnerable...that is when you will see it
 
Ohh. Ok. It just two clown fish in the 12 gallon tank. Actually they are just swimming now no more sign of aggression. The medicine that you suggested was called Kordon Ich Attack Herbal Formula ? Well this is what i see so far from petsmart on their website.
 
Ok thanks. Ok Updates~ my current sick fish his front face seems reallly really pale!
Will he make it? The ich has disappeared from his body but i heard there was three life cycle for ich. T.T
 
He isn't eating any of the food i have given so far. He eats then splits it back out or swims half way to the food and then gives up.

You need to get some frozen mysis.....
have you seen the clowns "mouthing" each other.....(I stink at wording things) LOL......That is a sign of aggression, and CAN leave the face whiteish around the mouth....watch them and make sure they are not fighting. Right now it may just be one trying to assert dominance.....should pass.....but WATCH
 
Hmmm... I see the sick just like rarely just hmmm i really don't know acutally. lol. As for the ich i should still be alert? I am going to grab the medicine tomorrow.

They look fine in the video...I LOVE THE CAT THOUGH

Are you sure it was ich? Have you seen any spots since? I just do not think they would just go away.....especially since you are not really feeding good foods......YET
IMO do not treat anything yet......get the frozen mysis, and other foods I mentioned.....get some Selcon (a vitamin).....for 2 clowns you may need 1/3 of a cube of food a day and add 1 drop of selcon...soak the food in it, then feed
let's wait to see what happens before we start adding stuff to the tank
You only have the 2 fish and 1 snail?
 
Ok. If is possible can you give me a price range on how much on all those foods cost so i can bring enough money with me.
I so far have:
2 Clown Fish
1 Snail
1 Peppermint Shrimp
1 Red Legged Crab
1 Hermit Crab i forgot what type it is but according to the LFS he said it wouldn't grow any bigger as i see it as.
Haha. ;3 I named him brisky! :3 He drives my crazy sometime! haha ;3 He always staring at my fishes and trying to open the top lid haha.
Hmmm I saw white dots pimped out but like few hours later it went away. Maybe it was stress since i moved the rocks around. Do you think the rock formation is ok? I try to provide enough hiding space for them I currently have 5lbs of rock. I was going to get more if needed. Thank You!

Could it have been sand????? IDK how much the food is by you....do you have a lfs? you can call them and ask them
If I were you, I would get a few more snails, and just watch the fish closely...and get the better foods
 
I thought it was the sand too so i was watching it for many hours it didn't so. I thought it was the sand but it wasn't .
Ok I was waiting for my monthly allowance before i buy anymore stuff because rest of the money has to survive throughout the month for lunch haha. Hmm You think i could get a cleaner shrimp in the future?

sure why not.....BUT if it was ich a cleaner will not cure it
Just remember, the frozen cubes will last you a while....for your 2 fish you only need to chop off a piece of a cube. I think they come like 30 cubes to a pack.....not sure
Selcon the vitamin runs about $10-$11 best bet is to call your lfs and ask their prices though.....and what they carry
 
Ok thank you!!! :D Well time to endure the long cold walk to petsmarts at 7pm LOL
I am very graceful all the tips! Thank you! I was planning to do a water change. Any tip on that? I know i suppose to leave the bucket of water out for at least 24 hours. Though I know the pH level would not be the same unless the salt makes it the same. How does the bacterica work int he water change? I am only doing like 3gallon change. Thanks!
