i have a foxface in my main tank and it has like two black spots on it looks like it could be black ich, should i take it out and do the drip method from my QT, with the sohal in it and leave it in hypo for another 3-4 weeks, or do i need to qt all of my fish. I have 2 green chromis, 1 maroon clown, the foxface, and about a 5 inch bluespotted goby, would that be to much of a bioload for my 30gal qt with an emperor 280 biowheel, please give me some tips on what to do, also i have read that black ich can be takin care of by cleaner shrimp, should i trust that.
thanks, alot
kyle

Why did you QT one fish? Sorry if you posted on this recently, but I couldn't find it, if you did.
Do you have an ich problem? Added new fish recently? Can you get a pic up on the puffer and the spots?
You can't do a drip for acclimation to a hypo tank. Too big a change too fast. If it is black ick, the treatment is formalin bathes, which you can do wo QTing a fish. Read the post on formalin bathes in the FAQ Thread....however, lets be sure that black ick is the problem.
Cleaner shrimp isn't really reliable.

i qt'd the sohal because i just got him from swf.com and i already had the foxface in my tank (i didnt QT stupidly that will be the last time i dont) i have a 10 gallon i could set up with a 280 biowheel too with water from my main tank. I dont have a puffer. also my bluspot goby has a clearish white covered eye (the left one only) looks like he got poked or something, could i use amoxil on him after the foxface in the 10 gallon.
i am havin alot of problems lately do you agree. sux bad
