lmphocitis with garlic cocktail

[sexyfishers]

here ye here ye.. need help in this area. :help:
Rachid, my other half was overlooking the tank while I was out traveling with the PGA for work for the last almost 2 weeks... story is that he hasn't been as involved with things as I have been and even though he wanted to do a good job, he let the "cool factor" overcome him.
THUS overfeeding occured. He fessed up once I was home and realized the angel had a small patch of lymphocitis with a couple of more patches looking to arrise. A couple of rocks look very brown as well. ALSO, he wasn't lacing the food with garlic or vitamins. (like I said, he isn't into the know on all of this and didn't see that it made a differance) let's just be nice and say he knows now.

Anyways.. tank maintence coming tomorrow for water change etc.. but in the meantime..
I have added fungus meds, ammonia meds, increased vitamins/garlic, decreased feedings big time.
ANGEL GIRL is NOT eating. I bought some algae sheets and spread some garlic paste on it and she wll come out after a few and swim around in the garlic infested water and may be nibble, of course the rest of the gang is extremely happy.
(yes, I know long story, but here is where it ends)
QUESTION....???
Anything else I can do tonight? Tonight is the first time I really realized she isn't eating, but like I said, I have backed way down since trying to control the water parameters... any suggestions?

Meds won't help lympho. The best thing to do if it is lympho is to feed with a good variety of food (I use home made) with added vitamins and garlic. My fish have all gotten lympho when I put them in qt and I followed Beth's advice in the Disease and Treatment forum, and it worked.
I would be concerned to know why the fish came down with lympho in the first place. It's usually caused by stress situations, water quality/parameters issues. You might check in the disease and treatment forum and ask Beth.

What are your exact water parameters? I wouldn't think that not getting vitamines for two weeks would cause lymph. The fish still should have been pretty healthy. Exactly what meds did you add to your tank?

cheapo-depo, but what I had on hand.. it's called
RID-FUNGUS, it is a 100% organic disease treatment additive.
We have used it like the bottle says for the last 3 days. Can't give you exacts on water parameters, bc no testing kit, but Sunday had water tested and ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels were all high in bad levels....
Rachid, finace, definately overfed due to the 'cool factor' he was sucked into (he got a big thrashing)...
the angel had a parasite a couple of days after I purchased her, not sure if it came from an existing tank member that never showed signs of, because most of those have been eaten by either grouper or lion, but the parasite cleared within hours after qt and she went back to dt. She was eating and swimming beautifully when I left town. When I got home around midnight Saturday, I noticed the lymph and came to site to figure what could I do. I went to lfs had water checked, bought formula 1 and 2, also algae sheets.. and cut back on feeding due to levels.. just noticed the not eating thing tonight. My tank maint will be here tomorrow morning, but unfortunately finace has to let them in as I will be at work. Joe, my tank guy says he will add whatever needs to be added, I just want to be as proactive and knowlegeable as possible. So whatever you can help with would be great.

just got home... angel was doa. I am devestated and worst thing is, she wasn't doing the best yesterday night, but today guys came and did water change, etc and Rachid said everything was fine around 3 this afternoon when I talked to him. He leaves for work at 6, so it just happened in the last hour or so. Rachid doesn't even know and although I don't want to, I am going to say he had something to do with it because he overfed the tank for 2 weeks.

hhhuuummm well it's gonna be a while to add anything, or at least the way I am feeling right now. She was so friendly and came out everytime I came home to flutter around the glass to converse with me.
