fish covered in Ick

Post by Jamilw1989 » Fri Feb 25, 2011 11:58 am

I have a Yo-Yo loach or clown loach (not sure what the right name is) in my tank that has become covered in ick. I don't know why because my tank is 78 degrees all the time, the only thing i can think of is that it came with it from PetSmart. I have him isolated in a small tank hanging on the side of the 20 gallon tank. is there anything i can do to cure him? I need him in order to keep my snail population in check. help
