Is it the ich?

Platys, rainbow sharks, Colombian silver shark, yoyo loaches, Dalmatian and sailfin mollies, black skirt and neon tetras. Are these all scaleless fish?

Just wondering if anyone could answer this question for me so I know if I'm giving the proper dose. If its just my 4 tetras that are scaleless, I'll quarantine them and use that with them and full dose the tank.

If no one told you, turn the heat up to 86% a couple degrees at a time. The heat will not let the ich spores reproduct and thus killing it off. I just had to do this in one of my tanks. I lost two fish, but saved 10. Hope it starts to go better for you.

86? I have it at 82 right now. It looks like none of my other fish have been affected except the silver shark and my 2 yoyos.

The loaches and the sharks (catfish) are scaleless and often get the Ich first because they're bottom feeders, but they're very sensitive to Ich meds. That's why Slappy sent that link.
