ick mabey

[xstar]

I had a small pacu i just got get this white slimy stuff all over it, then the next day it was dead, so thinking ick, i turned the temp up to 86-87 and added aquarium salt. The other fish, small CK, pleco, channal cat, all seem to be doing fine. No signs of ick or what ever that was. This has been a few days ago.
Should i keep this up for 2 weeks or if it was ick,should it have showed up in the other fish aready? its been a few days.
Also, i use maintance glove to do what nots in the tank, should it be ok to use thes in all my tanks beings that there hung dry and put up for a few days between cleanings? I meen,should the ick be killed when the gloves dry up?
thanks for the help. I know these or probebly stupid questions..

Personal opinion.. IT was not ich.. Sounds more like velvet than ich.. Fungus...

I agree, it does not sound like ick.

It could'nt of been ich, ich takes time to kill your fish. At least in my saltwater expereince.
