Add salt now. And observe.

That continuous scratching is a sign that it has sone sort of rash. I suspect viral.

Is it wild caught?
 
Okay.
 
You mean 1006, right?

You do not need to turn it into a brackish tank.
 
You had what salinity? 1006?

And this is after wc's? You have put in too muxh salt for the ick.

That may well be the Problem with the bass.....
 
Everything I read on salt treatment with ich said 6 parts per thousand, making it a salinity of 6 on the hydrometer(Instant Ocean hydrometer). Specific gravity 1.004. I have done two small water changes since the water here sucks and spikes nitrites every time I do(even with AmQuel + NovAqua).
 
You may be right, James. I never read anything. Just 40 years of experience and i have never neded so high a salinity for ich.

I believe your probkem is related to too much salt. .006 is half brackish...

Do a change of water and watch the nitrates.

What is the temps, in celsus please?
