Thanks...It will work out, they are tough fish and the ich is very mild. Im just really mad that I let my guard down with this new addition. Before this, all fish had been QT'd for at least 6 weeks. All that work for nothing!!!

I did the very same thing. A new fish that I was sure was clean wasn't. Infected another fish in the display and I had to QT the whole bunch. 8 weeks looking at an empty display really sucks. Good luck!

That's too bad.

I would suggest a NH3 test kit. It's amazing how fast it can build up to deadly levels.

Yeah I have one...this is another must with a QT. I test ammonia, nitrite and PH twice daily during QT and more if the fish look stressed. I do use amquel though which can screw up ammonia readings a bit.
