Hi, Well I had a problem with ick and all my fish died. So my question is I have snails and was wondering if they could get the ick? They look ok. I have treated the fish, guess I did something wrong, wish I knew what that was.....I am doing the heat treatment, getting the temp up to around 85 right now it is at 80. So if I get the temp up and add salt the ick will die in about 2 weeks, right or maybe faster. I want to get more fish, Im going to wait but I don't know if the snails can get it and the ick will stay in my tank. I really don't want to infect the new fish when I get them.
My fish may have had something else too, because it started last Thursday I noticed little white spots and they were not eating and sitting down on the bottom. I went to get aquarium salt and ick meds on friday and yesterday my last fish died. I had 4 goldfish and they died pretty fast. I don't know if the meds stressed them too much or what. I just don't want my tank to still be infested when I get my new fish. ( that won't be for about another month unless you tell me differently)
Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks
