Thanks for the input everyone. Now one final question. Do you think it would be better to move them to the 30gal. tank now, where they would be less stressed due to overcrowding in the 10gal. tank, or leave them in the 10gal., so that they won't be stressed from the transfer, until I've finished medicating them? I feel like I should know all of this stuff. I've kept African cichlids for about thirteen years now, and a saltwater tank for a year now; but this is the first case of ich (or any other parasite problems) I've had in at least 10yrs, so I'm a newbie at it all over again.
