Oh no! Hope the ick does not come back. Ick lifecycle goes from rocks to fish... if there are no fish in the tank, there's no host so the ick dies. Any chance you have a spare 10g floating around, you could QT them (4 to 6 weeks I think?)... IF you catch them. Or use selcon, garlic, zoe to help booster the fishies.

Sorry, but no QTs around... I would have to cycle and everything anyways, and I just don't have the resources... But I think he will get better on his own like Michael's did... I hope!

Good luck buddy. Hang in there.. it will all work out in the end

I'm proud of you. You've come a long way since way back when and you've learned and grown a lot. I don't post to you a lot but I do watch your posts a lot and am very proud of how far you've come. GOOD JOB Chris

Thanks everyone!

Royal Grammas are tough little fish. Mine has had ick, jumped out of his tank, flopped around on the dusty floor beind a cabinet, lived in the back chamber of a 12 gallon aquapod for 2 weeks. I thought he had died, when I went to chane my carbon, I saw two little eyes lookin at me like"dad, get me outta here. And he survived being in a cup of water while I was moving him to another tank. They are little troopers.
As BigAl said We are all very proud of you. Many people just give up.~Michael

GeeWizzItsMe · 11-15-2007, 10:00 AM

Wow Michael! Your gramma is an inspiration to fish everywhere! All those hardships are probably worth the 240 gallon, though! LOL!

kathywithbirds · 11-15-2007, 10:01 AM

hey did you start your job yet? maybe you can get a discount on fishie vitamins.

michael_cb_125 · 11-15-2007, 10:02 AM

Yeah he is. And he will get to live in the new tank. I like him

GeeWizzItsMe · 11-15-2007, 10:11 AM

No, not yet... I hope I can start soon!

Doot77 · 11-15-2007, 12:37 PM

Sorry to hear about the Ick, I'm going thru the same thing right now. I quarantined all my fish this last weekend and hoping for the best. Good luck!

GeeWizzItsMe · 11-17-2007, 09:07 PM

You guys are gonna hate me, but I HAD to have it...

Yes, I bought a Sohal Tang...

JK!

Okay, the recovery of my leather is going great! The koralia nano rescued it!
Also, I think the gramma has already made a full recovery! YAY!
Can't wait to get some corals!

Dentoid · 11-17-2007, 09:19 PM

I got a Royal Gramma today!

He's a pretty, healthy little guy. I carefully acclimated him and when I was putting him in the tank I turned over the net and it flopped to one side and he fell on the floor!

I quickly scooped him up and put him in the tank. He was stunned and layed on the bottom for a couple of seconds. I have not seen him since 1pm today. I'm bummed.

GeeWizzItsMe · 11-17-2007, 09:24 PM

Darny... GOOD LUCK! I love them!

Dude.... Let's see a picture. Is this a prelude to a new tank in the works? Your current tank is to small for such a fish.
