    Default Free fish!!!!!

    If anyone has a tank that you can treat ich in then you can have my Lionfish and my domino damsel and a tomato clown. All three have ich and i dont have another tank to treat in. Ive tried using the reef safe ich meds but nothing seems to work. I dont want to watch them die from it so thats why im giving them away. Let me know who wants them, thanks

    just because they have ick doesnt mean that they are going to die.get a uv sterilizer and try ick attach. itsreef safe and the main ingredientsare ginger and garlic which help the immune system.ive seen fish live with ick for weeks or months and no problem.

    I agree, try something else to treat them other than giving them away to someone else to deal with. Disease and keeping your fish healthy are part of the hobby. Nothing will cure them instantly other than a good treatment and quiet time for the fish. I always had great success with Kent's Garlic Extreme. If I were you, I would also try to figure out what is causing the ich. Most of the time it is some kind of stress from their surroundings or water conditions. If you get new fish and do the same things or put them in the exact same environment they will most likely get ich as well.

    Seems like your fish are stressed, possibly from all of them being in a 29 gallon tank. Getting rid of a few would be a good route to go to reduce stress.
