Yes another Ich thread….
Ich - stupid crappy Ich…
I quarantine my fish, but something has brought it into my DT. I’ve installed a UV (an oversized Eheim reeflex) and I’m feeding my fish with garlic and vitamin laced food as a management route as there is is absolutely no way I can catch out my royal gramma or pinstripe wrasse, and breakdown isn’t an option unfortunately…
I’ve been through at least 3 lifecycles of the parasite and it gets worse every time - this bout my gramma has stopped eating so I’m expecting to loose him tbh… but I don’t understand why they get it every time. From all the management threads I’ve read it should really only pop up due to stress or if they’re low - the only issue I can potentially plug as a stressor would be a noisy Wavemaker which vibrates and clicks every time it comes on … could this be enough to cause chronic stress in all the fish?
Edit to say, water parameters are all good - if anything I overtest my water, I’m a bit of a mad scientist when it comes to that side…
