cadesun Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 clowns are actually one of the least succeptable fish IME. qurantine is the only way to prevent ich from entering your tank. some people use garlic as an immune system booster, with mixed results. the best way to prevent ich is not to allow it to enter your tank in the first place.

Cesar Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Yeah clowns are very hardy. The ones that are ich magnets are tangs. You must QT your fish first and then place them in your display. I suggest get yourself one, very cheap one too. Link to comment
