Give me the fish bro and your problems will be gone :D
He will have a kick back time with my 6 other tangs


Sent from my Dummb Fone!
No!

He said, he hates softies and also said that led lighting hurts his eyes.

And that he can only live in a place that always smells like David Hasselhoff. (vodka and food)

Still covered in ich, weird only the hippo, yellow and Achilles have all of the bumps.

The other fish look good except the Angel. He has something on the underside of his gill plate.

He's swimming towards the top1/3 of the tank. I'm calling it on him. But I truly hope he or she pulls through!

as it is a beautiful fish. Yes, he/she nips.

KBRA, what size uqua uv you using. I found the achilles at my lfs and wanted to buy it, so I went and got the nice big uv light for my 150g. 57watt aqua uv. Once it was setup and had some time to work its magic, i went to the lfs to pick up the fish and it was gone. (CRAP). Still looking for one.....

So there's a Lfs kinda hidden off of sepulveda blvd heading west, street before western make a right and there's signs it says corals. He had another Achilles like 4-5" wanted like 120$-130$

If your tank hasn't been established for say 1 year minimum I would say wait.

Also I would definitely run him in the green antibiotic stuff, in a low salinity tank/.

Try feeding him, if
He comes
To the food he's a
Keeper. Oscar M's Achilles is
Doing awesome he did everything I did not and that's why his is golden.

If this fish pulls through today it will be a miracle, he looks tattered and is breathing hard.

Poor guy.

Please clarify...

So that we can isolate THE "lesson to learn":

* was that achilles eating and ich-free before you put him in the DT? How long did you watch him?

* where did yo get him from? did they treat/medicate/QT him?

* do you think he brought in the ich or got it from fish in the tank because he got stressed?

* did you treat/medicate him in anyway before you put him in the DT?

* now ich is in your tank, "watcha gonna do?? oooooooo yeaaaaaaaaaaa!" :biggrin1:

I dont mean to beat a dead fish...
