Hello everyone, and thanks for helping. I just stocked my 55g a few days ago, I got 1 JD, 1 Sev, 1 BRP, 1 FM, and 6 platies. Ammonia and nitrites are 0, nitrates are <20. Everything was fine the first day, but on the second morning, a couple platies showed minor signs of ich. I moved them to a 10g, added salt and bumped up temp. They are all still alive, and show improvement.
I'm nervous the Ich disease is still in the 55g, and I'm not sure if I should subject the 4 cichlids to the stress of the treatment. Today I saw some spots on the parrot's tail. They were whitish, but had kind of a sparkly shine, so I'm not sure if it's ich or just coloring. Furthermore, I would like to change some rock arrangements to provide more cover, but I think that added to to salt treatment would cause a lot of stress. I'm really in need of some help. Thank you.
