Well here I thought all my troubles were gone here comes one more lol. I decided to get a new bicolor foxface about two weeks ago ish for my 55 gallon (I KNOW I KNOW they get big but I'm planning to upgrade anyways to either a 75 or 90 and he was a smaller size anyways-perfectly suited for a 55. I noticed he had white spots all over that would seemingly come and go and I thought "oh god this could be ich but it doesn't seem to be affecting my other fish."
Lo and behold my two clownfish now have white spots, my beloved sailfin white spots on its fins but so far that's it. I've taken those fish out. My falco hawkfish, diamondback goby, and banggai cardinal all seem fine. I got the foxface from a pretty reputable source in Phoenix, and did a dip with something the store provided me (I forget what). My water parameters are all fine, I just did a 10% water change, and my temp is 77 degrees. Is there a way to remove ich completely and how long should I wait before adding new fish? Should I just have a complete do over? This isn't the first time I've lost all fish in a tank (the last time this happened was due to a bacterial bloom about a year ago ugh) I know these things can happen but man it still sucks when they do.
