I purchased an occ clown the day before yesterday. Today I noticed ich like spots around the gills, and one eye. I took him back to the lfs and they believe it was ich as well. They started treating him on the spot and put him in a hospital tank and offered a replacement right away. I kindly declined at that moment as I decided to do a little research and get some opinions. A little back story on my tank. It has been fish free for over 1 year. I do my own water changes with ro/di water from home. I know I should have qt the fish but I didn't have one. Lesson learned. The fish was in my tank for less then 36 hours. My question is, how fast would the ich spread in the tank? How long should I wait before introducing another fish? I have sps and lps so I do not want to use treatments or hypo salinity. Thank you for your time.
