Having recently bought some new fish, I put them into quarantine - just as well, as the clown loach have developed ich. Had to happen on Saturday night when all shops are shut.
As I have both clown loach and corys in the tank I intend to use salt as a treatment, plus raising temp as recommended in many of the forums.
My question is the only salt I have available until shops open tomorrow is cooking salt which contains sodium hexacyanoferrate as an anti caking agent. Will this harm the fish? I have read Daveedka's excellent article, and am not worried about iodine, but nowhere is the anti caking agent mentioned.
Help! does anyone know if this will have a bad effect on the fish?
fish are
3 small clown loach
1 small black ghost knife fish
2 bronze cory
4 paleatus cory
3 small angel fish
