MarOxy - A joke

[miles o'reef]

When I got my gold stripe maroon clown about a month ago, a fugus/infection appeared about a day or two after I bought him. In the QT, I treated him with MarOxy for 5 days but to no results.
I then started to feed him Formula One (along with garlic soaked brine and garlic soaked flake food) and I immediately started to see his fungal infection go away.
This was just an FYI in case someone else was planning on using MarOxy to treat a fungus/infection. I guess nothing beats a good varied diet!

Doubtful that the fish had a fungas to begin with. What were the symptoms?

It had a white cotton like tuft on one of its gills. It had no other strange behavior.
Had this on a previous gold stripe maroon clown (from a different LFS) and that one didn't make it.
From what I read I thought it was a bacterial/fungus infection.
What do you think it was?

Oh yeah, the tail was also a little frayed at the time - healed now.

If it was bacterial, then the maroxy wouldn't work. "Fungas" infections just are not that common in SW aquaria.

I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have slammed this product. It's just that according to its instructions&descriptions, my clown had a fungus infection and it said that it was supposed to cure it.
Maybe my clown had something else.
