or


some read on how to rid of balck ich , it is not like reg ich we get.
Black Spot or Tang Disease - Black Ich Diagnosis and Treatment
Preventing Reinfestation

Reinfection will occur no matter how effectively the fish have been treated if these parasitic tubellarian worms are not eradicated from the main aquarium. Unfortunately because they can survive for several months without a host, this is often not an easy thing to do, but here are some suggestions.

* Leave the main aquarium devoid of all fish for several months.
* Young worms live in the substrate and feed on detritus and organic debris until such time they mature and go in search of a fish host. By siphoning up excess organic matter that can build up on the bottom of the aquarium can help to control their numbers.
* For fish-only tanks that have no freshwater sensitive invertebrates present, hyposalinity can be applied.



Where did you get the fish that gave your tank black ich , Ide like to know for the safety of our members not to go a purchase fish

I never even heard about this disease, but a quarantine tank sounds like a good idea.
