We had an outbreak of ich in my DT. We tried to medicate the DT with no success. Everything but the 3 Chromisis (sp??) died. That was a hard one. 4 PJ's, dori, powder blue, and nemo.
We had bought and set up a QT tank and took the chromisis out. Those were hard little fella's to get out. We had bough 2 new fish, an angelfish (i think it is a koran) and a maroon clown and stuck them in the QT as well. Along with other problems we had in the QT, our maroon clown got Brookenella and died. Our angel is still alive, but has that virus that never goes away (cant think of the name off the top of my head). anyways, after 8 weeks of leaving the DT empty, we finally put our angel fish and 3 Chromisis back into the tank. About 3 weeks ago we bought a pair of clown fish and put them into a QT tank. All was well. about 2 weeks ago, my husband bought a yellow tang that had been at the LFS for about 2 months who was healthy and had no signs of any disease. It was an impromptu buy so we had no QT set up - besides the one that is already occupied. It's small - so with 2 other fish in it - the yellow tang would not have fit in such a tight space. SO he put it straight into the DT. It's hard to tell on the yellow - but i'm quite certain he has ich. and GOOD LUCK on getting him out of that DT to get him into QT. Angel is now all discolored. I can see white spots on his fin, but his first "disease" or virus he had were those white spots on it, so I don't know if maybe his virus is coming back?!? Before his first outbreak - he became discolored. It's just so hard to tell on the yellow if he has ich or not. He still acts scared when we come around, so he hides alot. When I do see him...it's because he is darting by so I only get little glimpses of him. Since he is yellow...I just can't tell!! I think it is...but again...I can't be certain. In my husbands defense, and we are still "rookies" at this - The lady at the LFS told us it would be ok to put the yellow tang into our DT because she had had him for so long now.
I give up. If someone could tell me a good DT ich method, that would be great. But I can't catch any of those fish in my big tank to get them into the QT. My husband has given up completely and wont help me. I don't know what to do.
My QT tank is only a 10 gallon right now. Probably not a good idea to stick the tang, angel, 3 chromsis and the nemos all in that tank. I have a 29 gallon, but my husband won't set it up. I'm just kinda running out of options.
We've had nothing but problems and it just doesn't seem worth all this effort to keep getting sick fish.
