Most likely at that point they will have already got it but not shown signs yet (Especially the kole). Melafix won’t do much in this situation, a copper based medication would be better if you can get some though. It probably started out because of the tank being too small, did you see any back and forth or racing around the tank like a whirlpool?I have my old ten gallon which I put him in and then put melafix in the tank
Also will my other fish in the 50 gallon get ich?
We’re his gills rappidly moving?he was doing fine when I got him and swimming normally it was just today he was motionless
To me, I doubt he’ll survive… I’m very sorry, maybe a copper based treatment could still work in a highly oxygenated environment thoughThey were moving slowly
If you have no coral/inverts (Shrimp, crabs, snails) and don’t plan to add any in the near future then sure.Should I put some medicine in my Maine display just incase my other fish have it so the medicine can kill it in its early stage
Unfortunately, melafix only works with ulcers and fin rot and not ich/velvet/other parasites like that. I think you need the 10g set up ASAP and cycled ASAP then get the fish in there and try treat there.I have a shrimp and snail but I have melafix and on the bottle it says I won't kill inverts. So will melafix work for it
I would only put the other fish in there when you see signs of ich/velvet (Scratching on rock, spots ect..) but don’t do it too late.The ten gallon was already cycled a long time ago I put my naso in there 1 hour ago so I should put my other fish in there as well. Since I only have melafix right now should I atleast try it while I buy the copper medicine
I had the naso for about 1 week and a half and the kole tang was very peacefulIt does appear to have ich, but it isn't that bad. I would guess that something else is going on. How long have you had the Naso? Did your other tang attack it?
