Use this stuff http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/k-...e+-+1+oz..html
or go to a health food store and get liquid garlic. Soak food in it. Cant recall how much, a couple of drops maybe. I make my own fish food and usualy add the whole bottle but thats for a couple years worth of food

i had a similar issue; one fish would start itching randomly then i would slowly see others doing it. My LFS recommended this stuff - http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/sc...+-+5+Gram.html

its reef safe for i used it with my corals and cleaner/blood/harlequin shrimp and snails and anenome with no issues. I mixed it in with food for the first bit, then i treated the tank. Make sure you turn off the carbon and dissolve the medication in water first for it takes some time and stirring.


my fish do still itch randomly everyone few weeks but its never been persistant. No fish have died either. I make my own fish food and put a couple cloves of garlic in their to boost their immune systems - also added vitamins.

Lol go buy garlic gaurd by seachem

i added a tiny peice of garlic and my fish ate it it was like minced garlic and every fish had a peice plus i did the garlic dropps from health food store with food

I have no experience with this but recently read it in a forum. It is just one more thing to watch with clowns I guess. There is a thread out there about treatment.

Check your salinity. I have seen fish flash like that.. when it was either too low or too high.

micro bubbles can also irritate their gills, just another thing to check.

i have lots of micro bubles from my taam rio nano skimmer i cant get the thing to stop with those bubles :(

hmmm..maybe you can put some sort of degasser? like some sort of floss in front of the water output? I don't know the rio but my deltec does that from time to time right after being cleaned and I put a piece of filter floss in front and tie it with rubber band to hold it in place and that remove some of the bubbles.

How long has this skimmer being in operation?

its only been in use for about 2 months not even
