Hi, I got a neon blue cleaner goby about 2 weeks ago, and noticed some white dots on it, and am pretty certain it is ich. I tried a freshwater dip, and have been monitoring it but it seems to slowly progress. It is in a 5 gallon (cycled) quarantine tank, with an orchid dottyback, which has no signs of any disease. There is also a hermit crab and peppermint shrimp in the quarantine tank, both of which also seem fine.
Given that this is already my quarantine tank (and I would ideally like to avoid a second quarantine/hospital tank), how do you recommend treating the ich? I don't want to use any copper medications because of the shrimp and crab in the tank.
Thanks!
