Taking the fish out of the tank, cleaning the main one out, keeping some of the old rocks like they were so the bacteria is still on it, putting in a new filter and new water with aqua-safe and letting it run for a bit without the fish in it so the bacteria can reform in there then reintroduce...

I greatly appreciate the advice. Unfortunately my shark just died from severe ich. I got lucky it was the only one that got it and i quarantined it in time. Running a cycle on the main tank though just in case.

I'm fairly new at the whole really taking care of fish. I have now 1 iridescent shark who seems to have ich but it's not affecting it. It's swiming behavior is weird though, it swims upside down, runs into the tank walls, and will float upside down until i peek into the tank then it swims fast...

Well im having trouble keeping the tempt constantly up and I think my angelfish killed my koi... cuz it disappeared.

I'm not sure. But it does have ich that I know for a fact. When I got it the guy was wrong then because he called it a shark cat fish lol.

It's a bala shark catfish.

I've read that salt in the water can be bad for scaleless fish like catfish or such. true?

Hi I have a shark catfish with Ich. I've quarantined it in another tank with 85 degree temp and ick guard, it's not eating anymore but is not lethargic. The cysts are still on the fish. Any advice?
