 Re: i hope i didn't just kill my tank
Before you rush out and buy something I think the article is a good read.
From personal experience, I have not seen wrasses and cleaner shrimp eat Ich. Others may have actually seen otherwise versus just reading about it. I had a run with Ich at the beginning when I was new, dumb and didn't qt. Now I am a bit more experienced, found out there is even more that I don't know but now I qt and my fish live. Go figure.
The only success I have had in preventing disease is through qt and copper. My qt times are different in what I observe the fish as being able to handle. For example I only had my tang in qt for two weeks because I saw that it was getting stressed in the tank. Others I will qt for about 4 weeks.
Just don't put anything that isn't a fish in there (copper that is). Though I would love to hear the crack of Becky's whip again, I don't want you to kill something from not looking into it or rushing. |
