The real test will be that they will be ich-free after the new year.
And speaking about ich, I bought a chevron butterfly almost three weeks ago. Middle of last week, this fish came down with ich
None of my other fish have it, but the butterfly was getting worse by the day. Two days into it having ich, I decided to step up the amount of Garlic Xtreme in the food by about 4 times normal . Also began feeding every two-three hours, so the butterfly would not be eating so freely from the flora and fauna in the tank and getting good strong doses of garlic instead. It's been three days now, and the fish has no signs of ich on its tail or pec fins where it was most visible.
Am going to continue feeding the extra, extra garlic food 3-4 times a day for the next few weeks to make sure any ich that may be lingering will not reinfest the fish. Hope this works. Will keep you updated.
