The q-tine tank is a good idea, but be on the look out for more cases in the main tank. Chances are another fish or two might get it, so you might have to treat the whole tank. Good Luck -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

Atleast that will start to speed the ich life cycle up, and may put them in their susceptible stage by the time you buy the ich meds. Adding salt is pointless at this stage, as it's a prevention... not a cure. Make sure you use copper safe or tri-sulphur or someting that is copper free... scale less fish don't like copper. Good luck.
