Few days ago I bought a smaller aquarium but it was first served as a hospital tank for sick fish.
But later I converted it to another aquarium and transferred the molly fish. They felt signs of relief that they no longer in the same tank with the large koi, except one molly that seems to be bullying them.
Unfortunately, I detected another ich problem and have to do salt treatment. If it doesn't work, I will remove the plants and do the methelyn blue on them again.

Just salt treat the sick fish in a small container with a higher concentration of salt, an ice cream gallon would do, just see to it that it is aerated.

@Letranknight2015 of course not, like what I told you before, one ice cream gallon of water and at least 1 to 2 teaspon salt, that could also serve as hosopital tank if you decide to use methylene blue so the MB won't stain yoir aquarium. Not one gallon of salt or else your fish would end up as " daing" ( salted dried fish)

@louievill But I immediately put the methelyn blue immediately. I gave three table spoon of salt and then shake it with water before I put it there.

That's true @fluffy69 But I never learned because I kept putting plants on there that probably caused them to have ich.

@arunima25 I haven't seen any progress yet. But for the moment, I think the parasite isn't spreading.
