Hey everyone,
Bad news...my royal gramma has ich. The tell-tale white "salt" spots have appeared on him. Based on research from this forum, seems a hyposalinity treatment is my best shot. A few questions though:
1. Is the 3 gallon tank pictured ok for a hospital tank? I just need a heater for it. Otherwise, I may have to purchase a new tank.
1a. Do they make a heater for a small tank like this?
2. Do I still feed the gramma while in the tank?
3. How do I acclimatize him to the new salinity, and then when he's cured, how do I get him back to the regular tank?
4. Will the addition of a cleaner shrimp help (not solve) the ich problem in the main tank?
