my bass has ick. he was in a 55 with an arrowana and a jardini. the arrowana died from ick. the jardini died from the coppersafe water treatment. I put the pbass in a new tank because he had no symptoms. I just established a new 150 recently. he is now currently in the tank with another pbass. a new jardini and arrowana, 2 plecos, pyliptourus, and a blue lobster. now that he has ick I have to treat the water. and its hard to get the invertabrites out of the water. but im also afraid of my other fish who DONT have ick are gonna die from the treatment. I am about to throw him in an old tank uninhabbited by any fish. even if I take him out im afriad my other fish will get ick die. what do I do?

heat and salt.
86 degrees and 2 teaspoons of salt per gallon.
You do know that the Jardini will go nuts on everything when it gets bigger right? Also, when you say arowana, which are you talking about ( I can only assume it's not a Jardini as well)

I took him out of the 150. I have him in an isolated tank. however I would prefer to put him back in the 150. just by simply raising the heat and adding aquarium salt the ick will clear up? Are you sure the other fish are gonna be ok. I am nervous, and really dont want my pbass to die. do you think he can tough it out in the 150? how serious is ick?
its a silver arrowana

I have african rift lake cichlid salt.....I cant use that right? my fish are south american cichlids. I also have seacure copper treatment but thats bad for the invertabrites right.
is there any other way to measure the salt other than teaspoons? thats like 300 teaspoons of salt. I dont own a kit. I have a measuring cup. in mL how much salt do I need for a 150 gallon tank?
