is it eating ich from fish?I have had ich and marine velvet ... I’ve lost many fish I tried the dip I tried every medication out there I haven’t yet found the perfect solution
My last go around was 3 years ago none of the stuff I was told was helping. my fish looked worse every day until it was to late. I’ve had it in my display tank and here is what I have learned .... to me none of the meds where making a fast or easy cure.
my clown couple the female was pretty big several years old and both of them where sick. Both of them I put quickly in fresh water for about 2-3 min max pulled them out and back in the tank. My female still died my male however got better. He still is happy and now the big one Most of my fish was gone. Except my naso my cardinal couple and a yellow tang. Six line wrasses where getting better as well. All every single fish was severally infected and it went fast. The only one I dipped where the clowns. IMO I do not know why it turned around but after putting medicine for several days from my local Fishstore and doing water changes like a mad woman I actually gave up on the medicine that’s when I did the dip with the couple. I also that day believe it or not bought a fish yes I did ! I bought a blue streak cleaner wrasse. That tiny fish was having a thanksgiving dinner in that tank. Since then I have kept one of them in my tank ( the first one jumped out after a few weeks so i replaced that little guy ) anyway since then I never had ich again and these wrasses do clean all the other fish all day long.
I probably get someone yelling at me for adding a fish to an infected tank but that’s what I was told and i believe that little guy was in fact the savior for my 2 tanks and even the other smaller fish.
