Major ICH

[Baffels]

How are the symptoms on these fish now?

As of this morning the 4 are still alive. I can't get any of them to eat, tried multiple foods.

That’s strange for fish with ich and no other issues. What four fish remain, can you post a video of them?

Porc puffer, longhorn cowfish, dragon wrasse and zebra eel. Here is a picture of the longhorn, he now has something on his eyes. I'm worried they are suffering at this point. Ill grab a video when I get home from work.

Very few clues here. I would increase the aeration just as standard best practices.

I couldn’t see what filter you are using, is the ammonia being maintained at less than 0.25 ppm?

The cowfish seems to have a bacterial infection of its eye. The porc still looks like it is recovering from ich. Zebra morays go off feed at a drop of a hat. I couldn’t see the dragon wrasse clearly.

Aeration is up, filter is a sicce 500. Got the zebra to eat a little today, as well as the wrasse. Other two wont eat. Porc is barely moving. Ammonia is undetectable with Hanna.

O.K., the porc may just have been hit really hard by the ich (they often are). The cowfish's eye is an issue - you might need antibiotics for that.

Would there be any issue with starting kanaplex at this salinity and these fish?

Kanaplex can be used in marine or freshwater, so half salinity is not an issue.
