Re: Ick Help!
I'm using Garlic Xtreme. Don't have to mess with real garlic on a daily basis, just use the dropper and away you go.
Recipe for my yellow tailed angel and fairy wrasses:
- 14 drops GX
- an equal measure of Kent Zoe
- a couple of pinches of powdered Acquamarine Immune Boost
- one teaspoon frozen PE mysis
Mix the GX, Zoe and IB well, add frozen mysis. Soak in fridge overnight. Makes enough for two feedings. Store in fridge between feedings.
Have been giving my ich fish this stuff for the past 3 weeks. Am sure the wrasses are benefitting from the mixture and have seen no ich on them in that time. The angel, on the other hand, is mostly white and eats all kinds of things besides the mysis (xenia, brown star polyps, macroalgae), so I'm not sure if angel is as well protected against ich. Hard to tell if it has been infected over the past three weeks because of its colour, but I'm leaning toward the positive. Will continue to monitor the angel on this diet for another 3-4 weeks to make sure it is ich-free.
