Ich entered my tank about 2 weeks ago with the introduction of a new fish (that had gone through quarantine) and sadly, in a span of 2 weeks, ich killed all but 3 of my fish The only 3 remaining are two pilot fish and a Blue Tang. I am devastated. I couldn't get any of the fish out because I have a 42" tall tank with a lot of rock work and even though I tried, I couldn't catch a single fish. I tried Polyplab Medic to try and combat the ich and it's not out of the question that maybe that ended up killing the fish. I am guessing at that because I had fish that didn't have a single sign of ich also die over the last week (fish that had been in my tank for almost a year and were completely healthy). Either way, I stopped using it to be on the safe side.
All that being said, what do I do now? I am in no way giving up on the hobby because it brings me so much joy. Knowing that I have ich in my tank, what's the right way to start introducing fish again? I'll be putting all fish through quarantine before they go in but besides that, any other recommendations? I don't see ich on the Blue Tang or the two pilot fish but I am going to wait at least 30 days before any actually go into the display tank and in the meantime, I am going to start quarantining maybe 3-4 fish to go in first. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
