Hi folks.
So it finally happened. I got a case of ICH. I had a really nice QT/hospital tank set up for when I purchase new fish but it broke a few weeks ago. I started a new job that has been taking a lot of my time but I finally got a new QT tank. I just got it set up. I used the water from my DT. Here are my questions I can't find answers to:
1. I've heard eels do not get Ich. Is this true and if they do not then can I leave mine in the DT tank while the others are in HYPO? I have a Fimbriated Moray Eel.
2. Can I still run carbon in the hypo tank? I have an emperor filter on it, or should I take it out?
3. I read somewhere that even though inverts do not get sick from ich, that they still can carry it. Is this true? If I leave all my inverts in the DT for 6 weeks while the fish are in hypo will ich still be in the DT because of the inverts? I have many inverts, snails, few different kinds of shrimp, star fish, hermits, etc.
I would do copper but my LFS told me copper+puffer is very bad.
Thanks for your help.
