ok i woke up this morning and saw that my royal gramma one of my false clowns my barnicle blenny has ich well they are eating just fine and swimming anyways that was at like 7:00 this morning it is now 10:40 and my royal gramma is cleared up i have no clue why i didn,t feed any garlic i just feed them pro balance with amino acids a lil bit of brine shrimp the clown and blenny have some spots but not as bad as earlier not a one had them yesterday. Can ich really disappear that fast?

Ich has a life cycle that involves the parasite living off the fish for a certian ammount of time,.. it's possible the ich is going through that part of it's life right now so you don't see it attached to your fish.

Just a thought,

The cleaner shrimp are the most important right now. Just because they have no spots now does not mean that tomorrow morning they won't be covered!

You will be fine adding the Cleaner shrimp but I hope you are not expecting them to cure Ich. It won't happen.

After trying to fight ich, I found the Kick-Ich works pretty good in a take. As long as you use a double dose. At least that is what I did. The next best thing is a QT and use formilin. I beat the ich using Kick-Ich but then my clowns got the "Clownfish Disease".
