    OK, so I've been feeding like crazy with garlic and Zoe (about 4-6 times a day) for about 4 weeks or so and I'm happy to report that he has bounced back completely. He is just about spot free and has great energy. I'm feeling a pretty big sense of accomplishment here since many, including myself for a while, considered him too far gone. And just to head off the ICH-is-still-in-my-tank brigade, we've gone through this already so let's just not this time.

    Here's a pic of him with the ICH was the worst:

    In other news, I'm having some phosphate troubles resulting in some cyano, so I got some Phos-Lock today and I found this GIGANTIC diamond goby at the IC Petland. He's 7 inches if he's an inch. Never seen one this big.

    glad to hear you nursed the powder brown back to health. Hopefully he'll be able to keep the ich at bay from here on out. Keep him on a healthy diet and a stress free environment and I'm sure he'll be fine.

    Great job! Can't wait to see your tank at the next meeting. I am sure ich is in every tank just waiting to find a sick host. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/sick.gif

    Well, I'm sad to say the Diamond Goby jumped. Very bummed. Tempering my excitement about the PBT.
