Fish broke out in ICH

[Jaybeastin]

My tank has ich and I added a wrasse 2 months ago and it’s doing well. Until today I noticed my tail spot Blenny wasn’t doing too well and i have black clownfish and he’s an easy indicator that I have ich. How did I all of sudden have ich ?? I’m going to start treating it with cooper immediately

I see 109 msg so assuming no corals ? had to ask apologies in advance.
Maybe some tank info could help

I have corals but haven’t added anything in a few months

You gonna remove the fish or the corals?

Treat with copper and you can't have coral

Bump - how are your ich treatments going. @AMART0416 did reef medic work? I assume that’s reef safe? I have ich in my reef DT (first timer) and I’m panicking

Hi,
Have you added anything else since the wrasse (corals, inverts, live rock)? Ich could hitchhike on other organisms too—they only affect fish, though. Even if the wrasse was your most recent addition, it can be a while before the disease actually becomes a problem, let alone becoming detectible. The tormonts can initially drop off fish and then multiply to an infectious amount.

Your best method of treatment is to round up all of your fish and treat them with copper-based medications in a sterile quarantine environment. The reason this cannot be done in the main display is not only because it can harm corals, but the medication can get absorbed by the substrate and become ineffective. A bare bottom qt tank will make medication and cleaning much easier.

1. you HAVE TO get all you fish to the QT and dose the COPPER POWER, quarantine the sick fish only doesn't help cuz ich had been everywhere in your main tank!
2. people who use ich-x is helpful, but you can't guarantee your coral will stay alive. coral is not compatible with copper AT ALL, even ich-x mentioned that is Reef safe.
3. you have to keep all your fish away from your main tank at least 2 weeks better 3 weeks, ich will die if they don't parasitic on the fish within 10-14days
4. make sure your hospital tank is keep on 82-83 degree, even 84 is OK, but make sure not over 85! It makes the ich grow much faster with that high temperature. After they grow up, they will drop from the fish body, and that is the prefect time to let the copper kill them all, but it doesn't mean you don't dose the copper before they drop from the body, just make sure your copper is stabilize with 2.5ppm, a bit higher or lower doesn't hurt the fish, but not over 3ppm
