I have the lionfish for almost a year, he is eating pretty good and when I left home this morning he was beathing fine. I have a butterfly fish too and ALSO has the ick, I also have a "spider" red crab, besides the two triggers. I have heard that Quick Cure works really well, and to be honest I do not care too much about the crab as long as I cure my Lionfish. The aquarium has been set a little over a year ago. I do not have live rock neither coral. As soon as I get out of work I will be buying some medicine, so I need to know what kind, maybe copper free?, I hope he is not dead by the time I get back because he looks pretty bad. The triggers are resisting pretty well.
