    What type are the remaining ones? It may well be aggression that started the outbreak.

    It sounds to me more like over stocking and possibly under filtering. How many fish did/do you have in there? What type of filtration are you using. Everytime I have gotten ich, all I did was a 50% water change, a temp increase to 84, and added salt as per prescribed methods already given.

    I'm more inclined to think that maybe it's not ich that your fish have, but rather a type of velvet that seems to be becoming more common lately with some of the imports. What was the last fish you added, and how did you do it?

    It's been a few days and there have been no deaths and the parrot fish that was covered from head to fin is now okay he looks okay and everyone is swimming around. I'am still adding salt. Hmmmmmmmmmm........The last fish I added was two bubble gum parrot fish. Do you think they could have been the problem?

    Do you know about these fish? I have heard stories on other forums where local fishermen have seen these hunt and kill African Crocs as a pack. They get over 4 feet in the wild and are excellent hunters. 32 to 34 razor sharp 4 to 6 inch teeth when fully grown. Yikes! This is truly the fresh water equivalent of a Great White. :shock:

    Can I intrest you in Freekin sharks with Freekin lazer beams attached to their heads? :smokey:

    Very funny....lol

    Well my freinds brothers store hidden reef was closeing down so they had a 50% off everything in the store sale. He had one for $150 I think it was about 8inches or so. I went to go check it out thought it was cool. Went home thought about it but I did not buy him because I just moved into a small condo D/T van city If I got him it would meen I would have to buy another tank. I don't have room for another tank......just the wall tanks I bought which I still have to go pick up. Plus they do grow to fast........maybe oneday :shifty

    Oh and as for the guy shipping to canada it did not work out.

    I'am glad that I did not get one............at least not yet maybe in a few years.

    Thanks for all the comments.

    Well................just had a convict die today.

    Just wondering one of my small parrot fish is covered from head to fin in ICH. Do you think he has a chance? Then my other convict does not look so good too. The remaining fish have NO visible signs of it so I think they will be okay. Man with all the fish I lost it seems like half the population of the tank was never there.

    THanks for the comments.

    I don't think I will use the 20g because like you said there might be even more problems.

    Okay so this is what's going on right now:

    I woke up this morning and found my two blackfin sharks dead.................not good I really like those guys. :cry: :cry:

    So far I have lost three fish. The first fish I lost was a jellybean parrot fish.

    I might try that jungle parasite gaurd.

    Gobies said I should treat before it is visable. Well The remaining fish have no visable spots of them so I might be able to start treating and save them. The fish that have already died really did not mean any special value but The remaining ones do so I have to try and save them.

    Lets hope something works!!!

    JUST AN UPDATE:

    Thanks for the comments.

    Things are not good. I just lost a fish tonight and it looks like I might loose two more.

    I have tried everything and it just keeps getting worse. I have an empty 20g I looks like three or four fish have it really bad should I set up this 20g for these guys.

    What to do what to do. Any more Ideas?

    A little more info would be helpful.

    How much salt did you add? What temp did you raise it to? How long has it been since you started the salt/temp treatment?

    5tbs for every 5gallons and it is a 40g.

    Raised temp up to 80.

    Started it wednesday.

    So a few days ago I noticed that one of my fish have ich on it. I got some edvice that I should add aquarium salt to the tank and raise the temp. So I did that and IT DID NOT WORK!!!!

    More fish have it know and I'am in some real trouble now.

    IS there any treatment for ich,something that can get rid of it fast. I was thinking of doing a water change,should I?

    But like I was saying is there any treatment for it.!?!?!!!!!

    I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I tried registering a few times over the past couple of years and was never able to get past the signing up process as there seemed to be a problem with my old username and this site. Anyway I am glad to finally be on board. :smokey: I am into SW aquariums and looking forward to some good discussions.

    :welcome:
