You might want to work on that. By itself it's not a big problem in a fish only, but it can add to the stress on an already sick fish.
We are sorry for your loss.

I did a 2 gal water change today and will do a 5gal change on friday. Since i have a eel and a shrimp and some crabs the nitrate wont go up really fast.

Did you mean salinity? Since there was no salinity value posted, could you give more details? Hyposalinity is a good treatment option for ick, but with no QT, no refractometer, and the lion already dead, I'm not sure how lowering salinity would help.
