I have ich in my 40 gallon and my mollie had babies. I put the babies in a 10 gallon so they wouldnt get eaten. Some of them are sitting on the ground and acting like they might have ich. I have ich x, should I use that on these fry or not?
 
No. Fry are extra sensitive to chemicals. Slowly raise the temperature to 80 degrees farenheit and keep it at that temp for one and a half weeks. It should kill off the ich

I agree, my fish never got ich because my country temp is over 85 degrees :fish:
 
Don't use chemicals to treat whitespot. Just raise the temperature to 30C (86F) for 2 weeks to kill the whitespot parasite.

Do a huge (75-90%) water change and gravel clean the substrate before raising the temperature.
