You should be able to see if it's ich, since the cysts would be visible as little white spots all over the body and fins.

Yes it is ick Can I use salt?

My redtail catfish is scratching it's body on the sand. Is this ick? Can I use salt to treat it? If not, what should I do?

What would you consider as the coolest cat? I want a catfish that is not scared of people, and can be hand feed.

Can I mix plecos, corydoras & non predatory big cats: M. irwini, Pseudodoras niger?

I just got a Megalodoras uranoscopus and I have noticed that it's tail fins is clamped. I had it for 5 days now and the tail fins is still the same. It is not eating and active since it arrived. I had it isolated in a quarantine tank. What should I do?

I usually use salt to cure ick on my flower horn fishes. Is it safe to use salt on an electric catfish? I have heard that it is not good to use salt on scales fishes.

50 gallons

I just bought an electric cat fish. Would it be okay with my other fishes if I put a glass devider on my tank and put him on the other side? Will it risk the other tank mates? It still has a small gap on the side of the devider
