I have an out break of ICK and I have a ADF in the tank where it happened I have moved him but I am wanting to know if I can put him in the 2.5 gallon for know that has had melafix in it very recently. if not where should I keep him because my other 2 tanks other occupents are not being very good hosts to the poor little guy

its not common for a frog to get ick but they will rub and act strange around gravel(if you have gravel) or if other fish have it,as a precaution salt is good, Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Aquarium Salt is best, but only use in very small doses,you would roughly need half a teaspoon to 1 gallon of water,could you explain about the other 2 hosts in your tank that you have moved your frog to? what sort of fish are they?

Thank you angel for your answer and time but I thin I have the prob sloved I try to put him in with the goldies first because they are still young and small and I really need to treat the main tank that has ick almost all the fish but they started to pick at him right away I think they really want to just check him out but he was freaking out so then I tried to put him back in with th paddle tail newt he used to be with they had been together since they were at the lfs but a week ago I found out for someone here he was a paddletail not a fire belly newt like we were told. so we moved the ADF right away so he wouldnt get eaten like I said that was a week ago the paddle tail is still two small to eat him so we thought we were safe for a few days. well I guess the newt was really unhappy about sharing his own after having it all to his self. so now the ADF and snail are now in a 2.5 gallon happy together and I hope that works for now..... I hope unless anyone has a better idea because I am out lol
