I think I have a big problem

[fook]

I'm pretty sure one of my tanks has ick. One catfish is almost dead. Other fish aren't looking very well. I just moved 2 fish from that tank to my tank with my clown knife and eel this morning and I use the same net on all three tanks.

I think I can use an ick treatment on the one tank but I'm really worried about the ck and eel. Those guys look fine right now but they're my two favorites and obviously I don't want to lose them.

Thoughts? I turned the tank heaters up and checked the water quality which seems fine. Thanks in advance.

Well, the catfish died. I think I have everything under control besides that though. Didn't realize there was a section of mfk that specifically dealt with this stuff until after I started this thread. Still don't know if it's safe to add salt to the ck tank though.

Keep the temperature up around 84-86F and add some aquarium salt. I know Eels are scaleless and may be more sensitive to any treatments so I recommend just using 1 tablespoon for every 10g.
