No Sick Fish

Ah, that is more in my territory than electrical questions. :D

If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. There are just no reef safe medications that will control all fish diseases. We have protozoa, bacteria, fungus and virus that can cause disease in humans and so it is with fish. It would be nice if we could take a pill a day for a week and never catch anything. Maybe some day but not now. With fish there are no miracle cures either. Using a quarantine tank is the best method to insure a healthy tank. If the tank does develop problems see Steve Pro's articles in the sticky at the top of this forum for advise on how to treat it.
 
What this stuff typically does is trigger feeding with garlic or some other smelly stuff. Fish that eat tend to do better, so they "get better" even though the "medicine" had very little to do with it. The fish still get sick and die, they just don't do it as quickly. It works just long enough for you to come here and say "This stuff really works!".... It doesn't. It will get your fish to eat though.
 
Thanks waterkeeper, shagsbreath my LFS told me he sold a dozen of them so far for $ 75.00 each "But no guarantee's" it works. I think it sounds too good to be true also. I am going with the quarantine instead of getting "No Sick Fish"
