Does anyone know if ich can be carried by shrimp or snails.. can the "catch" ich as well? If no can they be a vessel for it? If they need to be treated can you treat them with a Salt bath?.. seem as though that would be uncomortable of a snail

Any advise will help..

THnks,
-CJ

Hi.. I do think that shrimp can catch and therefore be carriers of Ick, I don't think snails can though. If your fish treatments carry warning not to use them for invertebrates, then I'd recommend you ask your lfs for an alternative treatment(not your chainstore!)
