Something else wrong with my foxface?

[randomfishdude]

Hey guys,
I noticed today that my foxface was swimming slightly pitched down and it looked like he was almost having trouble to swim???
But when i grab food or come up to the tank he immediately gets exited and goes back to normal ish.


Also yes fish do have ich. They are all eating normally. I don't have a way to qt the whole tank as of now so I'm just trying to keep them eating and not stressed.

Check out polyp labs medic for the ich. Just be sure to watch your parameters so they don't bottom out.
It helped my tank, but I ended up getting a massive algae outbreak and dinos etc because I got lazy. Worked really well though on the ich.

Doesn't seem that bad to me?, but I'm no expert....

Alr. I could be over parrinoid... the fish that introduced the ich died this morning. (5inch tomie tang)
I will check that stuff out.

I think I might try that. Even if it dosnt treat it and only suppresses it that would be good.

Also you mean bottom out phos and nitrates?
I've delt with dinos before due to no phos.
I don't really have much trouble helping that stuff high now.
I probobly need to have a lower phos as it's at .22

MEDIC is peroxide salts and wont do much especially at $40 for a small bottle. Fish does not look terrible and noticed are lumps in belly which could be due to poor diet/constipation.
What foods are you feeding the fish currently?
NT Labs acriflavine will be a safer and reliable treatment method

Regular mysis, sometimes every 2 days sometimes once a day.
Very rarely I feed anenomies jumbo mysis they get some of that.
Every morning and night I feed them pellets.
Along with 2 sheets of nori every day.
They also eat a ton of algae off rock.
The sail fin is kinda like that. I figured they were just fat.

Definitely do your own research on it before you chuck it in (as you should do with any suggestions anyone provides), what works for some doesn't necessarily work for others... myself included.

It happened to work for me for whatever reason, but yeah the nitrates and phosphates took a hit. Mixing that with not doing regular water changes at the time because I was trying the whole no water change thing for me, and being lazy after it cleared up... I ended up with a crap storm that lasted around 6 months or so...

Whilst they got low I never saw them hit zero, but I suspect that's what happened at some point and it's what kicked things off..

He is doing fine today. No clue what was up.

I did get the polyop lab stuff been doing it probobly 10 days now?
The ich dropped off the fish. One of the clowns did get it bad and did sadly die 2 days ago.
Some ich did come back but it went away really fast. So I think it is somewhat working.

I'll definately have some fun being able to restock my tank. I've got some unique fish on my mind.

I did find out though that I seem to have a bit of a love for anenomes.
