treating my tank with mystery snails

[chumley71]

I noticed a gourami flashing. I dont see anything on him, and my water parameters are good. I am assuming a parasite of some kind so I will need to treat my water. My problem is that I have three mystery snails in there and I dont want to kill them. I also dont to irritate them as they have just started to mate. Anybody know how I can treat my tank and not muck with my snails?
Thanks.

The only thing that I can think of is just raising the temp and adding some aquarium salt. You can also read the directions for the meds and see if it says anything about not using with snails and the like. I've never had a problem with using meds with my snails.

I've used ick meds with my mystery snails,just whatever you use read the bottle to make sure it contains NO COPPER anything. Copper is snail killer. If you really don't want to take the chance,I have removed my snails from the tank all together until the treatment is over.
