I would try and get rid of the fish that weren't sick--(if there are any) because if there not sick-- they may get sick-- and since you can't keep that many fish you have to get rid of some anyway-- The LFS will buy back fish . . . I would try to save as many as I could-- then probably sell some more back-- (or just giveaway)-- then I would figure out what type of fish my set up could handle...

As an Administrator of this site, it is important to me that information passed along is accurate and the best advice possible. Research & suggest, but above all....make sure your advice will not harm anyone else. Yes, he may have to many fish, but the answer is not to get rid of them by selling seemingly healthy fish to an LFS or giving them away unless the people taking are fully aware that these fish have come from a sick tank. All of the fish in his tank need to be treated, cured and parasite free before selling them back to an unsuspecting LFS that will resell fish that are likely carrying the parasites. We complain when we get a sick fish from an LFS, but if everyone has this attitude about fixing their problems, then I can understand why we get "some" of our bad stock from our local stores and blame them for it. It's Reef Responsibility. You may have found a solution for your problem if you treat the fish you keep, but have infected many tanks just to clear out your problem, without fixing the true problem at hand. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#There are different opinions on how to cure this problem, whether it be with natural cure such a hyposalinity or using a product off the shelf with copper in it. It's best to take the time to find out the best solution given your situation. A hospital tank is going to be the first necessary step regardless of the method you choose. Rid the fish of the disease first, and then read up on your fish to see what your tank can handle, keeping in mind the size they grow to be. After you do your research, choose the fish for your tank, and then look for homes for your healthy fish. Be honest to anyone you give or sell a fish to so that you don't harm their reef in the process of fixing and making your reef a safe one!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Good Luck #ed_op#SPAN class=name#ed_cl##ed_op#A name=""#ed_cl##ed_op#/A#ed_cl##ed_op#STRONG#ed_cl#shlim944 #ed_op#/STRONG#ed_cl#with getting your fish healthy and your reef back to it's healthy state!
