Urgent help...fish are dying i think....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
okay, i came home to find the clown dead as well. I did a freshwater dip on him last night and the ich appeared gone, obviously it wasnt. I bought some melafix, hoping to help him out a bit as well as some stress coat. My dad bought me a snowflake earlier. should i put the melafix in the tank? also would stress coat be a bad idea or should i use it when i do the water change later?
 
It might just be me, but I always avoid adding stuff to my water if at all possible. Use the stress coat after the next H20 change. See how it goes at that point - then look at using the melafix.
 
I would do 2 things one set up a small QT tank and treat the fish in there so that the main system does not get stressed out. Also I always like to feed Guarlic Guard to my fish when I see any signs of stress or diease. It raises their natural immunie system. That helps them fight off diease. I have never had any problems in my salt tanks but when I had fresh planted. I bought some neon tets and they all had ich. I feed garlic with their food and all three survived ich free after a few months. Good Luck!
