okay this is the story, my boyfriend got this 50 gal. tank with all attachments, decor, originall sustrate, two fish ( one is a spotted grouper and the other is a black bar filefish) also the water that was in the tank was transported here, my boyfriend bought for a very good deal with the intention of eventually putting his oscar into it after it was turned into a fresh water tank of course. anyway, bieng inexperianced at this, we sort of thought that our inexperiance to take care of the fish would cuase them to unfortunately die within the first day of having them , but they didn't, all of this was a month and a half ago, by now we have become very attached to them and a few other species that we bought. now we have a yellow tang, tibicus(keyhole), and three inverts, I have really become attached to the tibicus angelfish, unfortunately the last fish that we bought was the yellow tang, a few days later I noticed some dark spots on him, apparently it was black ich, we are trying very to come up with a solution to get rid of this parasite, but all the options involve having to sacrifice the anemone, and of course now I am worrying that this ich is killing my favorite fish the angel, faster than I can treat her, I have no Idea what to do, she just doesn't look good at all, I feel like everything is going down the proverbial toilet, and I can't stop it. please help.
