anybody ever see liquid garlic selling in any of the petshops? Its the one that you can mix with the food and give it to them.

[sharkman121]

i use this along with marine selcon...works well

[sharkman121]

Ordered them online though...

[HondaB20B]

you have a spare one to sell?
have a kole tang that under some stress and need it urgently

[sharkman121]

nah hoss, jus ordered some supplies online yesterday and that wasnt one.

Wat u dealing with, ich?

[HondaB20B]

seems like a fungus.................... will have to go and by the garlic pellets today then

[ARES0610]

Hey Honda, just use fresh garlic. Grate some pour in a little water, leave for 15 mins then squeeze the juice through a strainer and use that liquid. I used to do that a while ago, use just a little of the liquid though.

[rmtuner]

put the tang in hyposalinity
the ich or what ever it have go drop out and less stress for the tang because of the low salt.
you could feed the garlic and thing while in the hypo.

would love to do that, but the issue is to catch him. Its a 200+ gal tank with lots of rock work......................................

south beach petshop in grand bazzar have archer fish. Only about 8 remaining. All he red & green scats and the mono's gone

[sharkman121]

u have cleaner shrimp?

[HondaB20B]

had 2. d pistol shrimp kill them. have to put d shrimp trap later and see if i get him.
jst to let you know cleaner shrimp dont get ich off d fish especially if its already embedded in the flesh.




A common myth that goes along with the marine reef aquarium hobby is that cleaner shrimp will cure a fish of ich. Here is what a fellow member of Reefcentral had to say about this. A big thanks to “GreenBean” for his explanation:

http://www.brettsreef.com/index.php/cle ... p-and-ich/

“There is no evidence that any cleaner species eats ich in any real number, either in the wild or captivity. It’s never been found in the gut of cleaners in the wild and in lab tests cleaners have never been shown to make a significant difference on parasite loads. The ich parasite is under the skin of the host and without harming the host fish, the cleaner only has access to the parasite for about the 5 minutes that it takes for the parasite to burrow through. Because that 5 minutes occurs in the wee hours of the morning, cleaners will never naturally encounter the parasite during that time. In the lab, even when cleaners were induced to clean during the period when the parasite was burrowing in, they ate very few of them and made no significant difference in the parasite loads of the fish. The white spots associated with ich are only damaged skin due to the parasite underneath and guess what a large part of the diet of most cleaners is…. dead skin and fish mucus. Picking off the spots doesn’t cure the fish.”

Cleaner wrasse


They examined the gut contents of cleaner wrasse or Labroides dimidiatus you can find it in the Marine Ecology Progress Series, volume 197: pages 241-246 that was published in May of 2000, Alexandra S. Grutter. They found that the largest portion of their diet consists of gnathiids which is a parasite, but it is not ich. Parasitic copepods, non-parasitic copepods and scales comprised the remaining portion of the diet. They did not find Cryptocaryon irritans in the stomach contents of any of the fish they examined. Perhaps cleaner wrasse will eat some ich, but certainly not enough to affect a cure. They are going to exhibit their natural cleaning behavior whether the subjects being cleaned have ich or not.

^ good info man.

Anyone came across preformed fish ponds for sale anywhere local?
Looking to put down a small pond in the backyard but need something simple, neat and cost effective. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Anyway, those cleaner shrimp you guys have, i assume you all got it from this Raj fellow as well?
