    I got a new carribean blue tang and in quarintine I noticed he had ich so im going through a hypo salinity treatment right now with him, about 1 week in atm and no signs at all. But I dont reccomend it until you do some HEAVY research. It is the least stressful on the fish ( I dont like copper)

    Yeaaa! The garlic extreme worked in just one night! I soaked it in the dry seaweed and now most of the little tics are gone! I am going to continue to soak the food for the next couple days just to make sure they are gone along with the other clown fish so he doesn't catch it. Thank you SOO much guys! :)
