qt has been runing for a week today and has no filters because i am treating for ich with noxich. i have had the fish for a few months and it eats like a pig. flamer has shown no signs of illness and even when the tank got ich it didnt even show on him or my two current clowns. the tank that the clowns are housed in (QT) is my quarentine tank and it has been used for SW Quarentine for four months off and on. but before that it was used for FW grow out tank for little tanganyikans. my water is from a well and s fikltered extensively before it reaches tyhe taps.
