![]() Greg,
I would avoid the cleaner wrasses, they do not last long in captivity. The only time in my 8 years at (dare I say it) BA's that I saw one live longer than a year was in the shark tank, and we had them for like 4 years. Other than that, they can be expected to last 1 month to 5 or 6months at the most. This post is IMO Nate PS This is the standard cleaner wrasse, some of the different types tend to last longer if it wasnt such a small reef tank (which I would like to see some time!) I would suggest mono argentus, or tiny heniochus butterflies, and even smaller angels, like baby queens, and frenchs, etc... as they tend to do a good job, and last a lot longer in captivity. I would say hypo/hyper salinity and garlic is the way to go. |

![]() Thanks guys!
![]() Nate - How would hypo salinity effect the corals and inverst in the tank? I just fed the tank and I think I have lost my psydochromis ![]()

![]() Greg,
I wouldn't hold off.... get yourself a QT up and running, and do the hypo. I plan on removing all my fish on the tank switch. I hope to anyways... not sure if I'll have room for another tank. From my experience, it's simply not worth it if all the fish have ick. Garlic works on 1 fish with only a few spots, but I don't think it works that well if you have an infestation of it. (IMO) Good luck.
