The other day i noticed him rubbing himself on the substrate in the tank, iv noticed this before but only in a much smaller tank and on a fish that had ich. Is it possible the fish just itched or should i treat for ich just to be on the safe side? The other shark i have hasn't been doing at all and neither have none of his other tankmates except the ornate bichir. Ideas, comments, ecommendations. experiences etc. thanks all:D
 
Ich is very common, and spreads on fish like crazy id bump up the tank to 86F (I dont think ich can live beyond 85F), and add some ich medication. Its like a cold treat it fast so the others dont get it.


And Silvertip Sharks are fresh water as babbies and go into saltwater when adults. I suggest getting a 75g tank, and make it saltwater. bichir and his other tank mates cant make the move with them unfortunetly.if you dont your silver tips can get deadly skin conditions.
