Aquarium Advice Apprentice
hi. i have a sw tank and my psuedochromi (sp?) has developed ick. the tank contains two other fish (clown and puffer) and several inverts (snails, starfish). the problem is that the ick medicine i purchased, called pimafix, said that it was safe for inverts and it is definitely not. after i put the medicine in the snails just started dropping like flies. i noticed one day that when i put the medicine in two snails attached to the glass dropped off onto their backs and all the snails feet cringe up like they are trying to hide. what are some suggestions for medicine to use or other solutions to the problem? i should also add that this is an established tank and the snails had been living in it fine for months (almost a year i think) before i put the medicine in.
