That, I have no idea about...... As I never looked into many fish, but I am guessing people will say a goby maybe?

Feed good food, garlic supplemented food and water changes, and it should be able to fight it.

 

[Orey_P]

ok ill look into it

 

[Orey_P]

you are a lifesaver! thank you so much. ill keep you updated if you want about my 6 line

I added some Vitamin C supplement (obviously for fish tanks) to my tank when I had a little ick breakout. I also used marine tank approved garlic supplement in their food for a few weeks. Everything recovered perfectly. Lastly, I did a freshwater dip. Used baking soda to get Ph to the same Ph as my tank. All of that worked like a charm. No losses.

It sounds like your 6 line is in good shape though, so nice work.

on the bottom now i guess taking it all in. is it possible to add garlic t frozen mysis?

 

[bigdrew]

Yes, it’s actually easier to add it to the frozen stuff. Just add 2 drops to the little mysis cube in some RODI water. Stir around and then add it. You’ll need to do it for a few weeks. This isn’t a quick fix. Here is a picture of what I used.

As much as the fish eats in a couple minutes, maybe twice a day and you can skip a feed here or there


I overfeed like crazy.....

 

[Orey_P]

doesnt garlic make the fish want to eat more? or does it help with ich?

Good luck! If you want to, you could try making a build thread in the Member Tanks forum. Just a suggestion.

im not sure how to do that but ill try, thanks!

 

[Orey_P]

now my dxomino damsel gas ick. still using garlic xtreme, should i quarantine?

FYI Sixline and domino damsel will become aggressive and possibly kill new additions.

Aggressive fish should be added last not first.

Only QT if you are going to treat with a known method that works like copper and keep the tank without fish for 76 days otherwise it is pointless to QT.

I think your tank looks nice with the macro. Hopefully you can get this fish thing sorted out
