Hey i already posted this is the New Hobbyist section...but it really belongs here and i dont know how to move a thread, so im just going to rewrite it!
I have a 50g which contains at this moment: Liverock, sand, snails, hermits, and one firefish. I recently added a new anthias (after quarantine) to the tank, and it died of ich after about a week of being in the tank. So I evidently have ich in my DT (hurray *sarcasm*)
Id like advice on what to do. I know that the only way to be sure that ich is gone is to leave the tank fishless for 6-8weeks and treat the fish in a quarantine tank. Unfortunately, i am completely unable to catch my firefish!
Anyone have any advice on a different way that I could remove ich from the tank? Im worried about stressing the firefish to death trying to catch him. Will hypo kill the snails/hermits?
Also Ive heard Formalin works well on ich. Any thoughts on that? Would formalin kill the hermits/snails? Trust me, I'm not fond of the idea of adding formaldehyde to my tank..but if it works then i shouldnt judge!
