jervismun Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Bro I don't mean to be rude... if this is its current condition... you shouldn't pass it to someone else as the travel might weaken it further. Why not improve your tank condition?

SRC Member MbmC Posted October 13, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted October 13, 2008 Bro, no offense...offering to sell someone a fish infected with ich, so that he might introduce that into his system... You're asking someone to pay you money to introduce ich into his clean system. 2 issues here. 1. I don't think you should be attempting to recover any money by selling this fish. If you really sincere in helping the fish recover, give it away. Someone needs to have a separate quaratine tank able to help you look after the fish. 2. I don't think anyone in his right mind would buy any fish infected with ich. This kind of thing can cause all your livestock to die. Again, a separate quaratine tank would be a good idea. No offense here, just my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member LaW Posted October 14, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted October 14, 2008 anyway thanks everyone.i do have my own personal reason for selling it.since no one want it atleast give mw some tips to cure it. hyposalinity & copper helps and use furan for bacteria infection. but u need a seperate tank for those since i see corals in ur tank. and do daily water change. no doubt its alot of work but its just part of this hobby. cheers and good luck. Quote If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless. Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

SRC Member garyjg Posted October 14, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi, I'd try Triple Sulfaâ„¢ first in your tank, it maybe a start to cure your tang, I've been using it for a very long time and have had very good luck... Sulfa-based antibacterial fish medication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member marinemaster96 Posted October 14, 2008 Author SRC Member Share Posted October 14, 2008 ya i do have many corals.if dont have extra tank how.?can juz put in a small tank with air bubbles>can it suvive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuEl Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 1. Buy a product which will bind/absorb/lock ammonia. 2. Stabilize your kH to minimize pH swings. Try to keep a kH of at least 8. 3. Feed a good quality food which contains garlic. 4. Get a gravel cleaner and siphon the tank bottom daily and replace the water with new saltwater. 5. Increase water flow if possible. No point in treating it in a separate tank as the main tank is already infected. Just keep performing the above steps as it is less stressful on the fish.
