one of my fish is dieng!

[buggzy702]

It has white stuff on him and is dien, hes breathing but can hardly move..I believe its ich, is it to late to give him the ich remover?

[wstadnick]

From what i've been reading, don't give it to him in the main tank, make sure you quarantine him before giving him anything like that, as the copper in it will wipe the whole system.

[buggzy702]

what are the chances of the ich being elimnated off of him?

[wstadnick]

That i have no clue off, none of my fish have ever had it.. i figured i'd throw that out there though before you did anything with the chemical, as i've read how distructive it can be.

Also if you can try grabbing a photo of it, as a few on this board work pretty good with a picture. And would probably be able to tell you better what it is exactly. If it is ich.. you'll probably need to work on the tank also, as i beleive it stays in the tank for about 3months. One of the others will be able to give ya better info though. Try and grab a good pic of it though.
