Is this ICH??? Help please.

I have nothing to add in the medical department, but I hope your clownfish gets better! Just remember that a fish's immune system is important in this type of situation and you don't want to stress the little guy out by moving him around and trying tooooo many things.

Hope the best for the little guy

Sounds good. The little guys are hanging out in the first 5 gal bucket @ 13 ppt.
Both buckets are identical with pvc fittings to hide in. I took down the 10 gal QT and gave it+equipment a couple hours to soak in a bleach/freshwater solution.

After a couple days air drying, would it be worth the effort of getting it up and running again with fresh filter sponges? Perhaps get it going with some Ammonia?

How often do you feed while undergoing tank transfer?

I feed daily but a moderate amount. I also suggest using Prime or other ammonia neutralizer since no copper is in the transfer tanks.

Hi. I have found the best way to fight ick is cleaner shrimp and add alittle garlic& ginger to the food. I have brought back a couple of fish that I was sure were done by doing this. Don't know how or why it works, it just did. Actually got the ginger idea from another members post. Good luck.

Cleaner shrimp have no effect on ich or any other parasite. That is a myth. Garlic and ginger are an appetite enhancement only.

Has anyone had any experience fully drying out ebo-jager heaters?
I find a fair amount of water gets trapped inside the head. Worried about bleach water seeping out.
