Powder Blue Tang with Ick

[weap0n_X]

I just noticed a couple of ick parasites on its fin. Anything I can do to get rid of it? Cleaner Shrimps, Neon Goby, Kick Ich, etc..


Let me know.

catch him...quarantine him in a seperate tank and treat with hypo or copper.... those are the only two surefire options...

my hippo has a slight case of ich too...ive got some nori strips and ive been soaking that along with his other food in Kent Garlic Xtreme since last night, so should i still quarantine him? what about the quarantine setup? bare-bottom 10g tank (its a small hippo, maybe 2") with a pump? is that enough? i know most places say to quarantine for at least 3-4 weeks...can he survive that long without LR and sand as filtration with regular water changes?

ok, update on my tang, maybe it will help with yours....yesterday i fed my fishes 3x (1/4 tsp each time) but put about 3-4 drops of the garlic in before dumping it in the tank...today i did the same thing after work and the spots are almost gone! definitely give the kent garlic xtreme a shot!
