Fish or No Fish????

i had ich 7 weeks ago, well not me but my baby regal!
no other fish caught it i treated with garlic flakes soaked in ginger a garlic clove in tank and raised temp in tank. no sign of it again!
think your tank should be ok now, i feed all my fish garlic flakes every second day to keep immune system good.

Sorry to hear. I generally concur with your LFS info. It's all about keeping the fish happy and unstressed. I believe the stress includes mental stress not just chemical stress.

If your tank was too crowded or chronically overfed or ? or ? and the fish were perhaps mildly chemically stressed sort of like a time bomb and then the bubbles caused a little additional mental stress perhaps that pushed them over the edge.

I don't think it was over crowded. I had a pretty young cole tang, a coral beauty, a small banner fish, a domino damsel, a goby, and 3 chromis (all of which were pretty small) in a 75 gallon. Do you think that was too many fish? And as far as feeding, I try to keep it down to one good feeding and one small feeding a day. Never more than they can eat in a minute or two. The fish all seemed very happy and content, but maybe I was wrong. Either way, I don't think I will get any more fish. I am looking at a 220 gallon, and if I get that I may get a few fish once it has cycled good.
