My Powder Blue is showing a few small white spots which clearly resemble Marine Ich - Cryptocaryon irritans. After reading every article in the above stickies - I feel that the best course of action is to remove all the fish - yellow tang, powder blue tang, copperbanded butterfly, royal gamma, and false perc - and follow the outlined hyposalinity treatment. Currently, none of the other fish are showing white-spots and all of the fish are eating very well and have good body shape.
I think that I have everything in order for treatment, however, my one concern is the size of my current hospital tank. I have a 29-gallon which could easily be set up for this treatment - but I'm concerned that this tank may be too small to treat all of my fish at the same time. Specifically, I'm worried that the smaller tank could induce further stress on the fish resulting in an increased risk of becoming infected.
Comments or concerns with this size tank for treatment would be appreciated.
Thank you.
