Metroplex for my regal

[Carey1465]

Brought a regal tang home last Saturday and I knew she was going to get ich. I treated her with some metroplex and focus. I soaked it in some mysis and added a drop of garlic extreme. She killed the mysis that day so I made her a second batch. She ate some seaweed and some flake food yesterday but today she only ate a few pieces of flake food. She's definitely looking better but her appetite seems to be going away.

Should I try to mix the medication in a different type of food or do you think she's still timid? Her tank mates are 5 small chromis's and my parameters are fine.

How did you know it was going to get Ich other than it being a tang;) What symptoms did it have? Metro and/or garlic does not cure Ich. Did you offer anything other than flake food that day? Tangs need food with more substance and nutrition. Try more mysis, Rod's, etc and add some vitamins.
