Achilles update

[Mark Novack]

As I was promised, the Achilles broke pit with a fairly good ich coverage. As no other fish showed signs and Achilles eats well I did nothing. The ich is now going away, it's fins becoming transparent against.

Foods it eats are:
Green and red algae from Ocean Nutrion (ON)

Formula one pellets from ON

Frozen spinach from ON

DKI marine pellets

Live and frozen artemia of any brand.

Anyway, I'm glad the stressful days are over. I read so many negatives on this fish that it made me nervous. It looks to be a good fish.

Glad it’s on the mend, have you tried other frozen foods like hakari or pe mysis and LRS reef frenzy? My tangs love that stuff.

I've tried some Hikari al la carte but nobody touches it. Also some of their pellets but the Achilles is really for the ocean nutrition products. Garlic is strong with ocean nutrition. Oh, everyone loves DKI paste foods. That stuff makes for feeding frenzied.

How long have u had it
Most likely ich will be back on and off as that's how the cycle goes. I've seen achilles have a few spots every few weeks for years and take it fine and I've seen others die after a few outbreaks. If its aggressively eating that's always reassuring. I'd boost its foods with vitamins.
