Beth...another ?

Well, I decided to go ahead and set up the bigger of the two tanks. Well, sorry to say either fish made it. I think they were to far gone. I have left the fish in the bigger tank alone. I don't know if it is just my imagination but last night I still could see some ick on my angel...he is still so active and eating...but nothing on anything else. Now today I can't see it on him at all and he acts healthy as a horse. Is this ick just playing a game with me or can it seem like it does it? So next ? is should I just get a cleaner shrimp or something...or give him a quick dip...no one else in the tank shows no signs. I know once it is in there it will stay in there..but will someone or something kill it? If not do you think I still need to move all from that tank too in the hospital tank? Thanks for the time as always. Kelly

Ick is there whether you see it or not. It is in the tank. You can dip your fish to death, but if they remain in the tank, the ick will attack again. You need to do the hyposalinity exactly as I said and for the duration that I said. There are no shortcuts, so get started!
Postponing this could end up in your loosing more fish. If you had started the treatment when we first started discussing this a few days ago, you may not have lost the fish that you lost.
Get moving on this. You're ready, you got the tank...go, go, go.
