Ich and Sharks

[shannonpayne86]

Ich in a tank with a shark!!

I have no hospital tank and I dont want to use copper because of the shark I have an emperor, regal and majestic angel, also a yellow and unfortunately blue tang an epaulette shark and jade damsels, I would like any advice on a treatment other than hypo salinity, freshwater dips and copper baths as these fish are in a big setup and extremely hard to catch any help would be appreciated!!

In freshwater I've had ich in tanks that couldn't be treated so I slowly raised the temp to about 88. I don't know if that would work in saltwater though.

I have the same situation as yours. Hoping for some advice too.

That is tough. Is there a way you can get the other fish into a QT setup and maybe find some housing for the shark...rubbermaid tub, etc. You gotta treat the other fish with something and the shark is the showstopper on all of the treatments right now. You could try quinine sulfate. You are in a pickle with your situtation.
