How many fish ? How big are they? You want them in a tank with medication? Or just in an observation tank for a few weeks ?

That blows .. how are you responsible for the cost if fish dies ..

you are the Doctor checking on a patient in this case and doctor wont pay the family if patient dies.. hmmm

well i thought i saw some spots on my fish last time and like always got worried .. there arent there this morning.

there are a lots of IFs before i do anything about them though, two biggest ifs being
if they are indeed sick, and
IF i can catch them with out disturbing my corals.

or else ill just observe

IMO, if you dont QT, just accept the fact that ich is probably already in your tank. Keep your fish happy and cross your fingers! I dont QT either and I saw some white spots on my yellow tang the other day. I was worried but just told myself not QTing is a decision I made and have to live with.

then what's the point of QTing now =P.

IF they indeed show signs and IF i can catch them then the point of QTing them now is to help them get better by medicating them :)

those clowns means more to me than regular clowns ( or any clowns incase they pass away) i have had them for year and half now i think ..

so you plan on QTing for 3 months while you let your DT fallow?

Well it did occur to me ( but i thought 2 months is good enough)

IF i can catch all fish with out disrupting the corals. Or if they all die on me. Im not going to add anymore fish at all for quite sometime

But as i said i might be mistaken and those spots may be just dust or something, i am at work now so ill have to check in the evening .. Feed them more may be

My blue hippo tang gets ich regularly. Almost whenever I get a new fish. Since adding 2 new fish just recently he's got ich again. I've never lost fish to ich, I just feed heavier and I'm pretty sure my giant bazooka UV sterilizer takes care of them in their free swimming form.

Ps I've also used Kordon Ich Attack and now I started soaking food in garlic. Hoping it speeds up the recovery process.

Could also be stress spots. I've seen tangs get it before.
