I've had him 10 days now...he & the mandrin were the 1st fish in the tank...once I added the 2 clowns (Thursday) he's been a different fish. He's all over the tank instead of one end...he's coming to the front glass when I approach unlike back corner the first week. He hangs with the clowns like he's part of their group...Hardy appetite...Seems very content at this point but for the ick. He only approaches one of the cleaner shrimp as the other is prob bigger than he is! Concerned that it may spread to my clowns & mandrin. Use to freshwater all these yrs.

I really don't want to have to take him out of the tank at this point since he has adjusted very well. That would prob freak him out so I'll go the garlic route in the AM. Patience I do have, just don't want to lose him or infect the others. Getting use to this "natural" way of taking care of things. :roll: Will post progress?! Thanks all...
