I know I made a mistake when I decided to bring home an extra fish.
I purchased two snow flakes and I asked if it would be okay to also purchase a small blue tang. The LFS guy asked me questions about the tank. I told him it was a 75G and he said I would have to move the tang to a larger tank later. The tang is 1.5 big.
For two days, the fish seemed fine. This morning, however, the snows have ich and the blue tang is covered. I read online that tangs are more prone to ich. I've already pulled each fish out for quarantine.
My question is, will the other animals in the tank get ich (snail, hermit crabs, shrimp (coral bandit, peppermint).
Other question, I remember reading that ich dies within 2 days and will die off faster if the temperature is raised to 78-80. Do I have to start the cycle all over or will ich be gone?
