We've been treating with copper and hyposalinity. Both fish have been eating fine and dont appear to be stressed/breathing heavy. If treatment doesnt work for a while, I'll try the treatment on that website, but where do you get 1% phenoxethol solution locally? lfs?

      Thanks to everyone for the help, I really hope this guy pulls through and lives a long happy life.

      If they look to be getting better just continue your treatment. Sounds like its working.

      1% phenoxethol you may have to get online just like Formalian. Not alot of LFS will have it. You might call around and get lucky.

      If you were asking me, I used a d90 with a 35-70 2.8. at 35 in macro mode. Recorded at Nikon's 720p "equivalent"

      Little guy is still acting fine, he goes on powerhead rides a couple times an hour and pretty much attacks the turkey baster whenever I put it in there, even today with no garlic in the food. and eats from my hand. The big girl isn't as hungry, but she does eat.
      Fin looks the same.

      There's a coral banded shrimp, not much of a cleaner. No other fish

      Clowns have been looking good. He got rid of the dorsal fin lump, then it came back a little. and now all lumps are gone, little bit of the fin is missing where it was.

      If I had to say one thing that seemed to move the improvements the most, I would say feeding frozen "emerald entree" but I have a feeling that he just needed time.
