HELP!!!! Ok this is my Problem… I picked up a few fish @ a LFS and that day I noticed what looked like ICH so I started feeding Garlic like a mad man. Out of the 3 fish I bought all died within a week so. Well, I now have noticed a film over the eyes of a few of the fish that I had for years. This is different than what the fish that died had. The LFS has been trying to help me save them. I Picked up some Erythromycin and is has been 24 hours and it looks like it may be getting worse. Can any one give me an idea of what I am dealing with and what I can do? Thanks Ron

Ich very often causes secondary infections and cloudy eyes can be a symptom of these. Most likely bacterial. Are you treating the fish in a quarantine tank? Antibiotics can do bad things to your biological filtration and using them in a display tank is not recommended.
Garlic will not cure ich so don't rely on it. Ich can be treated by either hyposalinity or copper.
