Cortez Stingray with Ich?

[bucky1168]

Just checking on everyones thoughts on this. I have had an ich breakout in my tank. Since the other fish came down with ich, the ray has been acting weird. Staying buried under the sand for a lot longer periods of time and digging a lot more than normal. He is still eating like a pig like all the other fish but he is breathing a bit heavier than normal. What is the method for treating these guys? I am planning on Hyposalinity on the other fish but the ray I am not sure if they can take it or for how long if they can take the treatment. Not a lot of info on this for these guys. I have read mixed info.


Parameters are:

Nitrates- 5
Ammonia- 0
PH- 8.1
Salinity- 1.025
Phosphates- 0
Nitrites- 0

Thanks, Jim

Anyone have any experience with this? I would post a pic but you can't see anything because the ray is still pure white and it is his different behavior that has me concerned. What I am going to do is take him out of the DT and put him in another tank by himself while I treat the others. I just am trying to find out how to treat him or if I should because he will be put back with the other fish after several weeks of letting the tank sit with no fish. Still, all the fish plus the ray is eating very well. High energy with all and the spots are reducing. The only one showing signs of ich is my Blue Hippo. I know the ich is still there and they need treated I'm just glad they are still eating well. Any advice would be appreciated.
