Thank you! The medication I got to treat the ich only has instructions for up to 48 hours of treatment, but does not state for how long I should continue the 48 hour dosing, any tips?It will continue. The snails will produce ammonia to be broken down, if not as much as the clowns. You'll also want to feed the snails a bit, which will help.
Good to know I was worried they’d be stressed moving to a smaller tankNope, and your clowns will be much happier to move into a medicated environment with no ammonia.
What type of treatment did you apply?Thank you! The medication I got to treat the ich only has instructions for up to 48 hours of treatment, but does not state for how long I should continue the 48 hour dosing, any tips?

Well sure, but it beats deadly parasites and burning gills.Good to know I was worried they’d be stressed moving to a smaller tank
Super Ick cute API, all I could find on short noticeDefinitely be sure to monitor ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. Be ready to do water changes if necessary.
What meds did you get?

Full water change or how much %?May need to do WC daily as the hospital tank is not cycled
Check your ammonia levels about twice a day; make sure you have a decent test kit (e.g. non-API). Small daily water changes are best and you can vacuum up uneaten food that way as well.Full water change or how much %?
Use your discretion. 20% should be okFull water change or how much %?
You will treat the fish in a qt tank. During that time the parasite will die off in the display with no fish for a host.Thanks for the tip just a little confused If I treat in a qt tank then how would I get the ich out of my main?
Prolly post a new pic of the not feeling well fish, so that people can chime in. Sorry to hearUpdate: clown seems to look dusty rather than spotted like before. Attempted to feed, the one experiencing symptoms did not eat and appears to be losing balance when swimming kinda of tipping vertically. My other clown seems perfect active no spots eating fine.
Thanks for the concern. Little guy on the bottom has seemed okay he’s definitely a little less active then when he was in the 37g the larger clown doesn’t seem to be improving.Prolly post a new pic of the not feeling well fish, so that people can chime in. Sorry to hear
My set up is a 10g with a heater, filter(no carbon in it), bubbler, 2 pvc elbows and I dosed it per instructions with api super ich cure.EDIT: just looked at your pic and answered my own question.
