**SORRY FOR POSTING IN THE WRONG FORUM, I GUESS I WAS JUST IN A HURRY**
Boy, I am having bad luck lately!
I got 5 more neon tetras to go with my school 2 days ago, and 2 were dead when I got home. I figured the kid just hit them with the net or something. Now one has white spots I guess are ich. (Pic below) I have never had ICH before. So, I have to assume it came on the new neons.
Should I remove him from the tank now and treat him in a hostpital tank? or just go ahead and treat my whole tank? or should I just get out the infected ones and take them back to the LFS?
I have read of treating ICH by raising the water temp and using aquarium salt. is this the best way?
Thanks.
Tank:
75 Gallon Tank
PH 7
KH 4
Ammonia 0
Nitrates 30ppm
Fish:
2 blue rams
1 gold ram
1 clown loach
2 botia striatas
4 gold dojos
4 corys
13 neon tetras
