Question
I think I have ich in my small tank. I have some medications but I am not sure if it is safe to expose my mystery snail to it. can you shed some light on this for me

Answer
Hi Evan,
Snail's are sensitive to any medication. I would move the snail to a quarantine tank while you treat the main tank.
Ich gives the fish a dusted with salt appearance. It can be caused by bad water quality so check your water readings. If you have anymore questions please ask.

Regards,
Chloe.
