Sick coral beauty...could be ick

[Skimmer Juice]

The fish can be as healthy as possible.If you add a fish that is untreated this can get all your fish sick.So make sure you treat every fish for ich before adding it.Even if it has no sign of disease.Some people may disagree but I have had a lot of experince with ich as my first fish was a cowfish.The best safest way is cuprimine in my opinion. As soon as I started treating my fish with it no problems.All my fish are healthy.Knock on wood.

like i stated eirlier cuprimine is the way to go for shure if your gonna treat them.hypo works also but ive found that its a lot more complicated and a bigger hassle for a outcome thats a lot worse,ive never had a fish die from the cuprimine treatment but have lost a few to hypo

just wanted to add..if u do QT them and treat them. It is pointless to do so unless u leave the tank that they are in empty for at least a month. The ich will just go dormant until there is a host. I think the cycle is actually 28 days...but I would go 6 weeks just to make sure that there isn't anything left.

I have a FOWLR tank and I bought a keyhole angel that had ich which spread to one of my clown fish. I caught it early and used the product Kick Ich (which is sold as a reef safe product) and it worked for me. I didn't see any negative effects on anything in my tank. Just MHO, it worked for me and I'd use it again if I had to.

This is the first testomony I've ever heard that Kick Ich works. I've used it before with no luck.

If that is the one that uses pepper..I had no joy with that either.
