I dont think it will spread. Just easier to treat whole tank if I can.You can use Ridich Plus or Hikari Ich X…they have a gentler formulation of malachite green.
What makes you think the fungus will spread to your other fish?
Then you should just keep the water clean, add salt, and keep an eye on the sick fish. There are fungus spores in the water at all times. If the water is clean, fish healthy, and no aggression, they shouldn’t get it.I dont think it will spread. Just easier to treat whole tank if I can.
I have ich x on hand as well

Ridich Plus contains 0.038% MG, typical of nearly all MG based remedy, so it’s no milder formulation. Paraguard, containing 0.004% MG, is the milder formulation. When comparing ick remedies, it’s like comparing OTC drug. It’s not the brand name but the generic ingredient and concentration that makes the difference. Inconveniently, you have to do some searching to find out the formulation.You can use Ridich Plus or Hikari Ich X…they have a gentler formulation of malachite green.

I don’t use Paraguard and don’t know much about it. However, I am not talking about Ridich Plus being milder because the percentage of MG is different. It’s the formulation that’s milder than other Ich meds utilizing a similar percentage of MG.Ridich Plus contains 0.038% MG, typical of nearly all MG based remedy, so it’s no milder formulation.
