Hi all,
unfortunately I have an ich outbreak in my 550 gls FWLR display and I haven't another big tank to put my 16 fishes.
I known all about every possible cure for ich and I know that only two scientific and proved methods are copper and Hyposalinity; I've tried garlic, vitamins, reef safe medicine (Esha's oodinex) and metronidazole in the food as usual but I can't wait anymore if I don't want loose all my fishes; I'm doing hypo but I have fear for swallowing that hypo could make to my 2 clowntriggers; infact 2 years ago I've tried hypo in my display using refractometer, monitoring salinity ph, kh, every parameters and bring salinity to 14 ppt; only two small clowtriggers begin to swallow, all other fishes were ok. Fortunately I took clowns out the tank and put them in another small tank with normal salinity and they come back to normal shape.
It wasn't any infection or stomac disease but only a problem of osmo regulation; so I'm very worried for my two clown triggers because I've to make hyposalinity to save all my fishes but I want to know if there is something to do to avoid swallowing problem!!!!!!!
Any advices will be appreciate
Lorenzo
