I have a cichlid that I've diagnosed as suffering from Ich. I've removed him (or her!) from the community tank and placed him in a 3 gallon 'hospital tank' on his own. There's no filter, but I am salting and aerating the small tank and heating it to ~85 degrees (I used water from the community tank). My questions are:
1. Is this a safe/suitable therapy?
2. Am I better off presuming the community is infested and treating the whole tank?
3. How long should I keep him in the 'hospital' AFTER the symptoms have subsided?
Thanks for the help!
