My red bellied pacu has noticable ick. I have since removed him from my 75 gallon tank to a smaller 20 gallon tank.. he is alone.. I have raised the temp gradually and added salt.. 1st 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons today I increased it another 1tablespoon per 5 gallons. I am using sea salt. I did however go to the pet store and purchase Wardleys ick out sensative. I am not sure how I should treat the tank he came out of , which houses 2 Oscars, a clown knife a small red devil and pleco. i also have 4 other tanks that i have been using the same nets and siphon in... what should I do to maintain the health of the other fish... Should I even use these drops? I am hearing horror stories...

yes i am aware that i will be needing a bigger tank. i started @ 10 gallons and the little oscars were so cute... BUT!! 20 gallon.. then. 50 gallon now 75gallon.. they are about 6mos old I guess maybe 5to 6 inches the pacu is smaller maybe 4 inches. knife fish is about 5inches.. and the red devil is about 3.. oh the pleco is about 8inches.
