![]() Went to 3 shops in Calgary to ask about treatment for Ich and recieved 3 different answers. 1st said Ruby Reef kick Ich, 2nd said Hypo, 3rd said copper. Funny how everyone uses something differnet and there is no "standard" treatment. I kept dart frogs for years and never ran into so many differnet opinions.

![]() Another opinion is don't worry about ich due to one spot. Lots of causes for a single spot, so unless it gets worse, you're probably ok

![]() Some do, some don't. Some just observe and treat if needed. Ideally you have a fully mature tank to observe a new fish and get it eating, etc, but most people don't have that set up.

![]() Watch it and make sure its eating and looks ich free before adding it its easier to treat it now while it's in QT than after in display

![]() Sometimes the fish get sand stuck to them and it can look like ick. Is the spot still there? Some of my dummies, especially my Formosa whos always digging in the sand, (even the clowns) will make you panic for a second thinking they have ick when its really just sand. Any chance it could be sand like my guy below?
A lot of people garlic soak the fish food before they feed it. You could try that. ![]() |

![]() The spot vanished. I havn't treated with anything and plan on just watching them for the time being. I added a fireshrimp to my DT (my wife and kids wanted something in there) seems to be having a good time.
Saw the clowns sleeping yesterday morning, for a sec I thought they were sick. As soon as the lights were on there were back to normal. Thanks for the replys Jesse |
