My red bellied pacu ( Marlon) 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 (Bonnie and Clyde), a clown knife ( Andre) a small red devil (Avory) and pleco( Inga). 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... it's a fairly large white fuzzy patch on his side...
 
sorry to hear this, id def. keep an eye on all the tanks and possibly warm the temps on them slightly as well..im no expert but surely someone else will give you some more advice. Good luck!
 
look for all teh fish that are ill and put them in the same tank like the other guy said anti fungus medicine thats what you need because you said whitesatin like **** on them.
greetings
