ICH! Man your battle stations!

[The endler guy]

So fairly certain my fish have Ich (I’ve seen it on a few ember tetras and one neon) is not really stressed out (I am concerned though) as this is my first Ich and I am a little over a year in and I have only ever had stress Ich. Luckily I’m prepared with Ich x, but I’m slightly concerned that it will 

1. harm the fish (most likely not)

2. Harm snails/ shrimp

3. stain my silicone 

and of course a ram that NEEDS to get more attention 

Also it kind of looks like this neon has some sort of fungusy thing. It kind of always had this slight white doting but not as pronounced, it usually is ok but the more stress/ when new fish are introduced it gets worse (it’s been okay but this just looks worse then normal)

@Colucan you impart some of your infinite wisdom, upon a mere mortal such as I?

From what I have read ick x is safe to use with shrimp and snails I would also add some aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallons as ich causes massive electrolyte loss aquarium salt will add back in  essential electrolytes there's a possibility ick x will stain your silicone I wouldn't worry  I would see how your  neon tetra is after treating with ick x and salt I think that would help with what's going on @Aiden Carter

I have live plants, also I don’t have any aquarium salt, should I just use the directed amount of Ich x?

You could add 1 table spoon for 10 gallons of aquarium salt at that level it   won't harm your plants and will have a benefial effect during treatment and I would just follow the instructions on the bottle when treating with ick x
