Fish are dying off!

[klyeorkyle]

I need help! My fish got signs of the ich over a week ago and now are dying. My blue Angel was the first to go. Found him after 4 days of being missing under my rocks because my cardinal went missing also. My clown fish got a cloudy eye ball and then found him dead the next day! Now my wife just told me our sailfin tang has a cloudy eyeball as well. Please help!! I don't want to lose him or my foxface! I'm giving my foxface a freshwater bath for one minute to try and save him but I feel it's to late for the sailfin. Anyone have recomendations?

Here's a picture of his eye. Sorry for the bad phone pic.

Feed spectrum pellets with garlic and soaked nori in garlic guard. .

My fish eat the garlic pellets for bfast every morning but he wasn't eating this morning. I need to get the garlic guard and I'll soak my algae sheets. Thank you!

The garlic pellets won't do much against ick. It may boost your fish immune system to help the fish fight the parasite, but it won't cure ick.
The freshwater bath should help temporarily, give the fish a longer freshwater if you see no signs of stress on your fish. The only two ways to cure your fish from ick are hyposalinity or copper based medication. At this point your best chance would be to set up a hospital tank and start the copper treatment. Check the link bellow for more good info.

Not Ich, but protozoan in origin. All the garlic in the world won't help them. They need copper or chloroquine.

These types of outbreaks are usually caused by environmental stress. Can you post all your water parameters and source of water?

I do 25 gallon water change with Scripps water every 2-3 weeks. Does anyone have a 10-15 gallon tank I can buy from them?

How about tank size and # of fish? What do you use to top off with?

You could get a cheap 10 gallon at Fountain's Aquarium for $10 http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/hsd/4623578601.html. Good luck!
