If you have a quaranteen tank id transfer all the fish to it and treat with copper. If you dont have a quaranteen tank, keep treating with ich attack and soak the food in garlic juice.

I have no extra tank available. So I guess that's what I can do. My fish are really fat and I always soak the food with garlic.

Just keep a close eye on their benavior and make sure they are eating. Did you introduce a new fish recently?

Hot kijiji and buy a used tank for 25 bucks and run a power head and heater

Yes I have. One of then is a cleaner wrasse. I might get another one tomorrow to help out.

Red coral had 20g tanks for $20 recently. They might still have some. Thats what I use for mine with a powerhead, heater and desk lamp. Cheap and effective

Tank is too big to catch the fish.

Drain the tank. Pick up fish with your hands and move them to the new tank you just bought. Treat in there, leave main tank empty for 3 months, do not add fish again without quarantining. Easy peasy.

My tank is a full reef already
