I just bought 3 goldfish the other day, all of which were fine except one which had a fish lice on it which I removed and treated. Now I'm noticing ick developing, and it might be from the change of tanks, but I'm sure it's from the stress of the parasite. I looked online and found out that the ick treatment I bought for my last goldfish only kills what's fallen to the tank, not what's on them. I don't want my fish to die again! I read about the salt treatment, where you dilute and put 3 teaspoons of salt per every gallon, and as an example they said that would be 30 tspns for 10 gallons (what I have). They say it's a treatment for goldfish but this doesn't sound right! I don't want to kill my fish by adding salt to their water, but I don't want them to die of ick either. I need confirmation that the salt treatment is safe for goldfish, that just seems like a lot of salt to put in 10 gallons!
