Ick Question

[bigl21750]

I did something stupid , Christmas eve my wife gave me a suprise fish at 11:30 at night a rock Beauty which I just put into my 180 gallon tank because it was late and no quartine tank was set up.
Fish now has ick and I have been give Para Guard as a possible treatment, I am worried about the effective use of this product, I hae fish with one cleaner shrimp and i large snail, .
Also will doing hypo on my tank kill the cleaner shrimp
Thank for any info getting very frustrated dealing with this problem

if you only have one cleaner shrimp and one snail you can set up a temporary 5 gallon or snaller tank with the water from you water change and put the shrimp and snail in there and you can do hypo to the whole tank.

Hypo will kill any invert as well as corals.
Make sure you QT the fish, in a separate tank, if those are factors for your hypo treatment.
