Snowflake eel and ICH HELP PLEASE

[USNDoc]

Question all. Would the introduction of a snowflake eel into my tank cause my fish to get and die ? I have 125 gal HAD Arabian angel sailfin tang and Tomini tang and currently still have coral beauty angelfish. I introduced snowflake eel then next day or two 3 fish dead from ICH Also with coral beauty angelfish are they pretty hearty fish that they have harder time getting ICH cause she eats well and still shows no signs of ICH

If the eel introduced ich, then yes. Did you quarantine?

They can, they are just far more resistant than others due to the thicker slime coating and lack of scales. They could well carry it too.

I've never had a fish die from it in 2 days...

Just the water in the bag from the store is enough to introduce ich. But fish dying in two days? That is quite fast. Are you sure it is ich?
