After my tank cycled I bought 1 firefish and 1 skunk shrimp.About 6 weeks later I bought 2 clowns. Everything was great! On 2/19 I added a dottyback. (sorry,don't have quarentine tank) Afew days later the dottyback showed signs of ick. A few days later my clowns were looking the same.The dottyback died on the 8th day in the tank. My lfs said I could bring the clowns and put in his copper tank. Before I had a chance to do that 1 died on 3/5 and the other on 3/10. The firefish never has showed signs of ick. The firefish and shrimp stay together alot. Do you think the shrimp is keeping the firefish free of the ick parasite? Do firefish not get ick? If it never shows signs,could I add more fish in 6 weeks? Thanks in advance.
