First Ich outbreak! HELP HELP HELP! Tips needed
Noticed my Flame Angel with several very tiny white spots all over its fins and top of head. Might have spotted the male lyretail anthia with a spot as well.
I have a qt hospital tank that I set up today ready to go. Only problem is I couldn't catch the 2 fish! Anyone have a trap I could borrow? (Los Angeles) or good techniques without having to tear down complete aquascape? Should I only remove those two fish? Or all? I understand ich is already in my system and will be in it for months.. But if the other fish are not showing signs of being infected, Should I still have to remove them since its not full blown ich yet? Help please!! Tips! Opinions! Experiences needed |

Yes, you will still need to treat ALL fish and leave the dt fishless for 8-10 weeks or you'll never get rid of it.
Try catching them after lights off when they are more mellow.

A good way to catch fish is during a large water change. After you drain the display down they have less water to swim through and makes it a bit easier to catch them. Good luck with solving the problem
