Yesterday I went by petco to get some cat food, stopped by the salt water tanks, by far the tanks fish are in the worst condition I have ever seen here at the local petco. Every fish is infested with ich. Forgot about the cat food.... They had this Large Juvinile Koran Angel, it was swimming very erratically, had ich, was rubbing all along the tank walls. They had him now for almost 3 weeks. Basically I told them that fish was gonna die... soon and they needed to hook me up on a crazy deal and I would try to keep him alive. I wouldn't have tried it but I was sad that this awsome fish was going to be killed for no reason. Its not about money in this case its about a sweet fish that should have been left in the ocean. You can almost see some yellow on his sides and soon will be an adult.
This was yesterday. I left his bag floating in my display while i set up his new 10g hospital tank. Checked the sq of the petco water.... 1.018 :thumbdown
The fish looked much better floating in the display tank. Staying vertical and relaxed looking. Shame how a fish is more comfy in a transfer bag than a display tank.
He went into the hospital tank and instantly starting feeling the sides of the tank.
I saw him nip at a few peices of spirulina after he was in the qt tank. But thats about it.
This morning after a dark night he seems much more relaxed. I added a small amount of ich treatment, no change in behavior
:thumbsup: . I tried to feed him some more spirulina but he didnt really go for it.
He looks pretty happy now. In 12 hours you can see a difference in his health, still ichy but not as bad.
Which gets to my question........ What do these fish find irresistible. I know it might take a few days for him to eat but the sooner he eats the sooner he is gonna get better.
Thanks,
Mark
