If you're moving the shrimp, make sure the quarantine tank has stable parameters and plenty of biofilm for them to graze on. Sudden changes can stress them just as much as meds.

eSHa 2000 contains formaldehyde and malachite green, both of which can be harmful to invertebrates like shrimp. If you must use it, remove the shrimp to a separate tank temporarily. Alternatively, consider a shrimp-safe treatment like Seachem Paraguard.

I'm thinking the new additions might've brought it in. Sorry to hear about the hassle you're dealing with.

This is making me a bit anxious, to be honest. Still, I'm not giving up on my plans for a sw tank. Good luck with everything, really hope it works out and your tang doesn't have ich again ...

Just been looking at my Regal tang and he's doing great, feeding well and no more scratching. I put the lumps down to a change of lights and rearranging the rocks, seems to have done the trick. Had a chat with the gaffer at my local store and he reckons every tank's got ich floating about, but it ...

Cheers for the kind words, mate I'm crossing everything that it's just stress lumps and not the dreaded white spot. Fingers, toes, and everything else crossed for me, I need all the luck I can get.

Glad to hear your regal tang sorted itself out, that's giving me some hope. I'm keeping a close eye ...

I've had my fish back in the tank for a week now after that 6-week break and the s.g. drop to .009. They'd all done their copper meds treatment and were ich-free, looking great. I put them back in on Monday, added a few new ones on Tuesday, and quarantined a few others.

My problem's with my ...

I agree with the others, 20g is a better size for clownfish. If you're set on a 10g, I'd suggest a clown goby or bicolour blenny - both are pretty interesting and don't require a lot of space.

I can vouch for that, I've had some great experiences with the site. The quality of the fish is top-notch, both tropical and marine. I've had a few orders and all the fish have been healthy and thriving. Actually, I've got another order on the way, arriving tomorrow.

Mandarins do display to each other, even pairs. I've seen some vids on YouTube of their mating courtship, just type in Mandarin and you'll find a few.
