I’m new to everything. I had two dwarf gourami since day 1 and ended up getting rid of one because it kept billing the other one. The day after i went and got 10 cardinal tetras. I had them in my tank for 2 days and this morning I see white spots on them. My dwarf gourami seems ok and clean. I looked it up google says it’s itch now with a 55 gallon how do I treat that? Or do I have to treat gourami even if he doesn’t seem affectedIMG_4477.jpgIMG_4476.jpgIMG_4475.jpg
 
Paraguard will help you. All fish are contaminated most likely
 
Raise the temp to 86 degrees. Raise it two degrees every hour until you hit 86. Add 1 teaspoon of aquarium for every 5 gallons of water. After 4-5 days up the aquarium salt to 1 teaspoon for every two gallons of water. Perform a daily 25% water change with a gravel/substrate vacuum. Continue this until you have 4-5 days with no sign of ich.

This is the best option without medicating your tank. If you feel you have to use medication try rid-ich.
