Porc. does have ich! Need some advice right away about hypo!
Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 4:03 pm
In my tank I have a foxface, firefish porc. puffer. 50 lbs of LR with some creatures.
I tried going fallow/no fish for a month (had an ich outbreak a couple of months ago) but it obviously didnt work because puffy has ich.
What if I...
move Puffy to a newly established QT and treat with copper.
Keep the two other fish in the tank but remove the LR that has the worms and feather dusters. Remove sea star and snails. Put some of the LR and inverts in a rubbermaid tub with a powerhead.
Do hypo on the display tank.
Would that get rid of my ich and help puffy?
I know I cannot do copper with LR or inverts and also know that hypo wouldn't work with some inverts. Would it be ok for the LR that just has coralline?
wbs asap.
