Coral Banded doing it's job

[mkbtank]

So, a couple of the fish in my 120 (softie tank) have a bit of ick. I have had an awesome Unicorn tang in there for a long time, along with 2 Coral Banded Shrimp (lots of rock, so no issues). They have never really interacted with the fish. However, since the ick breakout a couple of days ago, the Tang has been coming over and picking up the shrimp for cleanings.

I am raising the temp of the tank to help with the ick, and did get some medicine for saltwater (Not sure if I will use it yet), but in the meantime, I got a couple of cool pictures this morning.

and..

That is cool. Before we talked this afternoon I never knew coral banded shrimp even did that.

As a suggestion, you could try to start feeding Spectrum A pellets. They're anti-parasitic food. I always fed it to my fish, they liked it, and never had an ich problem.

Thanks. Neither did I.
