Ich Question

[orangespot]

Okay, my tank has been wiped out by ich. I lost all of my fish but 3. I removed my one surviving green chromis to a QT tank which I just set up. I have a yellow tail damsel and an orange spot goby in the display tank. They show no signs of ich. They seem 100% healthy. I am aware that ich is still in the tank because fish are still in the tank. Should I remove these two fish two and put them in QT? It would be quite a challenge to catch them and would mean I would have to remove 50 pounds of lr to do so.

As long as you have fish in the infected tank, ich will thrive. You have to treat all the fish.
Do you have just LR in the tank? Can you move the rock to the tank and leave the fish in the main tank for hyposalinity treatment?

yeah, I only have a 10 gallon quarantine...I guess i will have to take all of the rock out and place it in a tub...I hate that but I can't catch these fish.
