Please help, how to treat a sick fish in reef tank ?

[Hawkaholic]

I'm with untamed as well...if your fish is eating good and otherwise seems healthy, I'd leave it be. Sorry to hear about your troubles reef93

What i meant to communicate is that fish will have better chance of survival with better feeding, garlic will help him to eat more and support the immune system. It will not cure the eye obviously, it might will help to stay alive.

As for the garlic being a natural antibiotic this is true, but you need a lot of it in one dose. When i don't feel well I swallow cloves of garlic chunks, this way there is no smell because i am not chewing it, but i get high dose every time i eat i swallow 2-3 cloves. I had not taken any antibiotics in 12 years, this is great way to fight any infectious disease. Much more natural then flue shots anyway which i never take.

i find all dwarf angels being a challenge i had one the died of ick and another from starvation let it run it course most often the more you try to fix the problem the worse off you become somtimes nature has to run its course as long as ur other fish are fine i wouldnt worry about it

You were right about that, dwarf angels are a bit of a challenge, but they are so beautiful. My next tank will be a FOWLR tank with at least 10 angels in there with different sizes.

Most of the time, cloudy eyes are a cause of a bacteria infection, injury, or water conditions.

Was it one eye or 2? If 1 eye it was caused by a injury, and the bacteria has "infected" it.

With my experiences in FW & SW, I find the best treatment is to give the fish the best diet. Use additives like garlic & selcon to improve its diet. Also water changes will help, as the better the water the better the chances.

I also use a product by Marc Weiss, called "Immunal Vital", it helps with stress and increases the fishes immunity.

He only got 1 cloudy eye. You are so right about water condition and injury causes the problem. I had ich in my tank about a couple months ago, but now all the fish have recovered, only this poor guy scratching himself too much at that time and somehow injured his eye and getting worse day by day. I will use Immunal Vital for him, if I can find it here. It might be too late now but better than nothing. At least I know I have tried my best to rescue his eye.
Thank you so much. Ken.

Your best bet for it is J&L, I also know Big Al's carries it out here

Thanks Ken, I will call them today. Hope they have it in stock.
