1) if you don't care about the fish, why are you trying to save them?
2) why would you continually ask for help here when your posts all show a lack of respect for the answers you get?
3) why is anyone even thinking of helping you--your responses here and on other threads show you are one of those people who give hobbyists a bad name

I took all 80 pounds of LR out last night at 3am to fish the shark out and catch my fish. they are all in a seprate tank right now with a little LR and LS nothing else. they have there org water. now what? i have never done a QT before so could some one please explain how to save the fish i have left.
I dont mean to change the way you feel. But a comment like that said on a board of people who all love their fish in a personal way is kind of harsh to everyone here. I do reach out and touch my fish, some even sit in my hand and eat their food and allow me to pet them and thus shows their intelligence to distinguish between friend and foe, whats safe and not safe.
Now to help you.
The Infected DT must sit fishless for 6 weeks I believe, for the Ick to die off.
If its worth the time and effort you can perform hyposalinity in a QT for the fish in order to remove the ick. Im not an expert on hypo so some1 else will need 2 chime in on that.
What size tank do u have the fish in now? Make sure that they have some places to hide to reduce stress and make sure u have a filter going along with powerheads for water circulation.
