    OK!

    I have an update... So I thought my clowns might have Ick but- I am starting to think other wise... I went to my LPS and he showed me what ick looks like and gave an explanation... He was very helpful! Anywho-

    The white spot/ spots I thought were ick seem to not be multiplying or going away.

    They still dig their noses into the sand from time to time but - all the params are normal and they eat like nobodys business... The female clown has settled down a bit and has found her 'spot' in the aquarium- that would be the only real 'change' in behavior (and don't get me wrong, she still swims all over too)

    I am using garlic and vit C and maybe that is helping...

    I feel as though with the tiny spots, I could literally take them off myself!


    What are your thoughts, just let it be?

    I know you mentioned against it, but I'd recommend the QT. You can prolly buy a 10 gallon QT with all the fixings for the cost of a good UV filter. Then you can get into aggressive treatments to get rid of whatever you've got, either Hypo-Salinity, or whatever medication you think you need.

    If you can post some pics, it would be very helpful in diagnosing what exactly your fish have.
