Ich on a shark?

[bandit32004]

Probably a dumb question, but can Eels or Sharks get marine ick? I have had a previous outbreak, but now only have the Eel and Shark in the tank, and am thinking that if I leave it that way for a couple of months that I shouldn't still have ick in the tank?

Umm... good question... personally I would assume that they can... though no idea really... throw the question at Zoodiver, he knows alot about sharks.

yes it is possible for sharks to have cryptocaryon,amyloodinium ocellatum,uronema mariinum, but is very rare and normally when fish and sharks are held together in a poor water environment. sharks are more prone to internal parasites [cestodes, trematodes] allso copepods isipods and monogenetic flukes

 

[Zoodiver]

Elasmos can carry crypt, but I've never seen one being impacted by it.

 

[Comatose]

possible but extremely rare on morays.

I"m willing to bet you have parasitic copepods bothering your Elasmo, and not marine "Ich". Pic? Animal species? Tankmates? Live sand?
