I would feed everyday, fresh garlic soaked food, or even 2X small feedings, they need the food to help their immune system. If you have zoe and zoecon put that in their food also. I put all my food in a little jar, put in vit. drops and garlic and let it sit in the refrig for a day.
What are all your water levels? ph, ammo. nitrite and trates? Make sure your ph is up as during hypo it can drop. I found when I did hypo I was doing a lot of water changes due to the ammonia. I checked it sometimes 2x a day. Without your lr in there to help filter you really have to be on it.
Sorry about your other fish dieing.

Just an fyi, I used the stuff called RXP by kentmarine, for ich, reef safe and all, did a 2 week treatment, ran carbon after, cleared my problem fast, love it. if you use it just make sure skimmer is up and running good, read instructions closely. Good luck that is alot of fish and money...

Yes, I soak food with selcon, vita chem, zoecon and extreme garlic alternately every time I feed. The water parameters are under control except pH is 8.18. My hippo is just died.
I have had him for 4 months. He couldn't make it this time.

What fish do you have left now?
I have:
1 sailfin tang
1 clown trigger
1 pearlscale butterfly
1 maroon
2 chromis
1 flame angel
I think the flame angel will die soon. Her body now is swallow and she hasn't eaten for 3 days. Is there any way to save her now? I don't want to loose her now. She's so beautiful.

Does she have some place to hide? I would soak mysis or brine in fresh garlic juice, they say that fresh is better then the garlic extreme. I use the fresh when I have a fish that isn't looking right, other then that I use garlic extreme.
Don't know if there is much else you can do, other then just minimize any stress. Good luck.
