Default Six line Vs. Ick

I woke up this morning to observe my fishes and found out that my coral beauty had a little white dot on his fin. i was worried all day and started to set up my QT. 5 hours later i came back and look. i saw the coral beauty leaning on his side letting the Six line swim next to him. then the magic happens... the six line picked off the white dot!!! it was gone!!!..haha I'm sorry if i sound hella cheesy but im hella happy =P... anwayz six line prevents ick A-O-k.. i saw it with my own eyes

Hah. That's a nice alternative to a cleaner wrasse, which is difficult and doesn't belong in an aquarium.

If it is truely ich then the wrasse just picking off the white sppot will not get rid of it. ich is an internal parasite that burrows beneath the flesh. It may have picked off the white spot but the ich is not gone... Hyposalinity or copper...

most beginers over react to ich. best info i can give for ich.

if your fish is eating leave it alone it will fix on its own. try some garlic and healthy food.
