MY royal gramma is near death. He has white dots all over him, I thought they were copepods or something because he would rub against rock (probly how he got popeye) and get them off. But as soon as he got them all of they came back in the evening. I found him yesterday in a rock COVERED in them and the would every once in a while pop out look around nervously and go one a huge itching spree. and today I found him in the back behind the rock lying there. I thought he was dead but he crammed into a rock that would be impossible to get out.

It's called ich. Your other fish probably has it too. You could save them with hyposalinity. Would you like me to explain more?

dang I was hoping it wasnt ich..... clownfish doesnt has ich. please explain more. the royal gramma is a goner because he crammed him self in a hole where I can get him out. I was really hoping this wouldnt happen. I need something that doesnt require me setting up any extra tanks or holding bins.

heres the scoop, I cant afford set up a tank, and I have coral so no copper. I guess garlic is my best bet??

How long did it have ich? This is very treatable. Sounds like you completely neglected it. Garlic in no way will heal your fish and i am betting that your other fish has it as well.

about Apr 24. THe clown doesnt have any dots what so ever, I have had him for about 4 months so he is pretty settled in and not stressed.
