Ick ???

[bourbeaue]

I just bought two yellow tank raised horses. It appears that one has marine Ick. Is this possible ? Do sea horses get Ick ? Is a hyposalinity treatment appropriate ? If so, to what level ?

thanks

Could you please post a picture. It is pretty rare for seahorses to get ich, however it is pretty common for them to have white/silver spots as part of their patterning.

If it is ich, hyposalinity is the correct course, at 1.014; remember that salinity needs to be raised back to the correct level GRADUALLY at the end of treatment.
