Ok, so how about all of you successful keepers post what you were feeding your fish so that we who are not sucessful have a better chance.

My regal tang gets ich every now and then so my cleaner eats the ich off of him as well as he constantly is picking at all the other fish in the tank. My cleaner wrasse also eats PE mysis and nori.

Cleaner wrasse DO get ich. Mine has had it and used to flash on the sides of my Niger Trigger...must have been like sand paper

Heh, my understanding is that they don't get ich, but I could be wrong.

I don't really have all those tangs, just one who doesn't really have any ich. Due to the fact that this fish is eating, I feel I can support him with enriched Mysis and Brine with-out the need to eat ich. Based off several other responses from from post, I feel confident I made the right choice.
