I just took out my two Black Fin sharks and separated them. They apparently have the Ich disease. I also noticed a day before, my large snail had become very ill (Lack of movement, depression, ect.) What is the best way to deal with this horrible parasite? I have only been on the hobby of fish keeping for about 3-4 Months, but have had Betas for over a year. So fresh water fish are a new thing for me. Thanks.
 
if there still alive i would bring temp up 86 like 1-2 degrees an hour, oxygenate the water well since the warmer water has less oxygen. treat with aquarium salt 1 tablespoon per 10 gallons, some people use more but that has always worked for me.
 
Thanks, My sharks, have dies but I'm still going to treat the tank with the other fish that don't seem to be infected...better be safe then sorry.
