I thought I posted this in here already but it doesn't seem to have posted or has gone missing.

I had troubles with ich a few months ago and after all the ich spots were gone I continued treatemnt for another 4 days or so. I thought it was all under control and now a month and a half later I am seeing white spots on a few of my fish again. We lost so many fish last time I want to treat ASAP and get it right this time.

Last time I treated with ich meds and so I moved the frogs out of the tank. This time around though we have 4 dalamation molly fry in a breeder tank in the main tank, and I'm wondering how they will tolerate the meds? Would a salt bath work better? Would the fry and/or frogs need to be moved to another tank if I try the salt treatment?

I found some aquarium salt and was told I need to add 2-3 tbsp per 5 gallons so I was thining of 15tbsp for our 30 gallon tank, does this sound OK?
 
No salt harms fry, the med should be ok, as long as you increase aeration, they can be tough little things.

Oh thank-you so much, I will move the frogs and start the meds then, thanks.
