during the recent acquisation of flame angel from a ick infected tank , my whole tank kanna ick .
tank mate are blue tang , yellow angel , 2 x false percular and cleaner shrimp.
the flame itself is not infected but the rest of the tank where i bought the flame angel are ick infected . because of my stupidity , i thought maybe this fish is not infected yet, and it will not harm my tank.
mine is a FOWLR, so i perform hyposalinity to around 1.008. and bought cure ick from aquapharm.
today is the forth day and all the fishes are cured . no visible white spots.
from my own experience , hypo does work effectively and my fishes still eat like pigs during curing period with garlicguard mysis and brine.
lost my cleaner because i cannot catch it out and it die due to low salinity.
lesson learned: do not buy fish from a ich infected tank no matter what .
to date , all tank mate are saved .
to all: hypo does work and dont spend unneccesary money on useless medication.
