My saltwater tank recently came down with ich and unfortunatly I lost two of the three fish I had (one was my puffer I had for three years). The only thing in there now is a snowflake eel who does not look sick. Do eels get ich? If not then how long should I wait to start introducing fish again? I've been treating the tank with greenex (a invert safe ich medicine).

Welcome to Aquaria Central. Eels can not get ich due to their skin type. It is not a smart idea to treat your display tank with any kind of medicine, there are better and more efficient ways to do it. How long ago did they die? Generally wait 3 weeks after the last of ich has been spotted (in this case 3wks after your fish died). If I were you I would do some water changes to get the get the meds out. Eels generally don't accept the presence of medicines. Anyway, hope this helps and sorry about your Puffer.
