Yep. He is in a new 10g. No other fish in there. His white spots are very small, I can see them in person, and only when I zoom in on the pic with the camera. I will watch him. Hey, I can treat it regardless. I am just glad that he made it. :) I thought for sure he was done...

Thanks guys. He has been hiding all day. Still has the white spots. Not very active. Most of the snails are dead. Lunch for my nass. snails I guess. :( Oh well. atleast lucky has made it...for now..
The 180 has brown algae on the sand in the right front corner that is not going away. It is under high flow too. My new aquavitro salt will not be in until next week. I am gonna do a water change tomorrow with tropic marine pro, and suction out that part of the sand. I may do another couple days with the lights out.

Well, he is still alive lol. White spots are gone. Guess I will know in a few days if it's ich or not. Eating good. He acts like he wants to get into the other 10g where my bigger female is lol. She does the same to him too. They are in seperate tanks, about 6in from each other...Maybe that is a good sign that they will do well together..

Thanks Slice and Flower. And Yes, Siptang, it needs to be eradicated lol. He is doing ok, couple white spots. Kind of scratching and swimming around like a little mad fish. And he is eating good. I might of added the medicine at just the right time. Seems like his white spots are not getting worse. :) Tested the water. All parameters in check. I have atleast 8g of fresh saltwater ready if needed. It is just a waiting game now. I think he will pull through... In other news.....the little tailspot blenny is doing great. Has decided to live inside a monti I have on the left side of the tank. Perches over there and grabs the food as it comes....lazy little piggy....LOL.

Would putting a cleaner shrimp in the quarantine tank help get rid of the ich? O r would it hurt the shrimp? Very cute fish I want one.

When I had an ich outbreak in my 180g, I really believe the shrimp helped tremendously. I was unable to treat that tank because of my coral and inverts, and suffered losses. I had several fish pull through too. But, this one is already being treated with copper, which can kill inverts. The black and white clowns are adorable, and they are just different. Just a warning: QT all your fish that you purchase, just in case you have to treat them like I am....
