Question
I would like to know what causes my maculosus angelfish to lose his color for long periods of time after a bout with ick in my aquarium  and i noticed that my Niger triggerfish has seemed to lose his eyesight and his eyes are not at all cloudy what should I do?The aquarium is a 100 gallon aquarium should i change all the aquarium water iam using cupramine in the aquarium at the present time.

Answer
Hello Alaica

I would not have used the cupramine quite yet, as you are not sure what you are treating for...

I will assume your water peramters are ok, although i would like to review them please...

What diet are you feeding your fish? I would suggest lots of protein and vegetables...  nori/seaweed/ etc....

There are other suppliments you can use that basically are vitamins to suppliment what might be lacking in your food/diet, but if you are feeding well, they should be getting enough..

OTher then that, water changes wont do anything except dilute the water... so, unless you know what you are treating for or diluting, that problably wont help much

Please log onto my new forum at www.thelittleocean.com   I have a couple experts there, (marine biologists) that might be able to help.

Please post something in the introductions section and i will make sure they look you up


thanks
